As a Senior Coastal Modeller within the River, Coast & Sea advisory group, you work on complex and socially relevant issues at the intersection of hydrodynamics, water quality, salt intrusion, sediment transport, morphology, and climate adaptation. You translate client questions into numerical models and understandable advice, and play a key role in both project execution, specialist modeling issues, and substantive quality assurance.
You work for diverse clients, such as governments, port authorities, water boards, contractors, and private developers, on projects in the Netherlands and internationally. Think of studies on salt intrusion in canals and estuaries, water quality and water exchange, plume dispersion during dredging and construction activities, and hydrodynamic and morphological analyses for coastal and river projects. In these projects, the application of numerical modeling software (primarily Delft3D4 and Delft3D FM, but also other software) and scripting is central.
