• Experience delivering FCERM projects in the UK or internationally.
• A strong understanding of coastal hydrodynamics and hazards.
• A strong track record of applying numerical models for wave transformation, wave overtopping and flood inundation to assess coastal hazards.
• Experience using GIS products.
• Relevant industry experience.

Candidates will be able to demonstrate that they are able to:

• Be proficient in the use of industry standard coastal hazard models (e.g. SWAN, TUFLOW, EurOtop, TELEMAC etc.)
• Work effectively within a team, with regard to deadlines and budget.
• Communicate clearly, both verbal and written.
• Provide support and guidance to junior staff and pass on knowledge and experience within the team.
