- Conduct non-real-time modelling and hydrological assessments using tools such as Flood Modeller, ICM, HEC-RAS, MIKE 11, and FEH hydrological methods.
- Create and assess high-quality technical reports, detailing model construction and associated uncertainties.
- Lead and participate in tenders for key clients.
- Guide and mentor team members in their professional growth.
- Establish strong relationships with clients and interdisciplinary colleagues.
- Remain informed about legislation and guidelines pertinent to our services.
- Utilize AECOM’s project management systems to ensure high-quality deliverables are completed on time and within budget.
