Key Responsibilities

Be involved in a vibrant team leading the development of ocean and coastal modelling capabilities, including:

• Development of high-resolution coastal models for the regional and local waters using DELFT3D-FM/MIKE; and/or
• Development of high-resolution ocean circulation models for the regional waters using NEMO;
• Development of relevant tools, techniques, and methodologies, such as data assimilation, data-driven models and Bayesian networks.
• Working together with a research team carrying out projects related to the development of models for forecasting and prediction of the metocean environment.
• Undertake management of project tasks and produce the deliverables within the agreed parameters in an appropriate format, to ensure that relevant project tasks are delivered on-time, within scope and within budget.
• Develop detailed project plans to monitor and track project progress and performance, specifically to analyze the successful completion of short and long-term goals.
• Present at conferences, attend training as required to maintain proficiency.

Requirements

• Bachelors or Masters Degree in Engineering (Ocean/Coastal Engineering or Hydraulic/Environmental/Mechanical engineering majoring in Fluid Dynamics/Mechanics) or other related discipline.

Preferred Experiences and Knowledge

• Oceanography, ocean and coastal hydrodynamics.
• Open-source models for coastal modelling and ocean circulation modelling e.g. DELFT3D-FM, NEMO.
• Knowledge in sensing, data analytics, machine learning will be an advantage.

Others

• Good interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ability to adapt and work effectively as a member of a team.
• Resourceful and self-driven with high degree of professional integrity.
• Solid organizational skills including attention to detail and multitasking skills.
