Project/Senior Dam Safety Engineer
We are seeking a Project/Senior Dam Safety Engineer to provide technical leadership and project management across the assessment, design, operation and ongoing safety management of dams and associated water-retaining structures. This role will suit an experienced civil, geotechnical or water resources engineer with a strong understanding of dam safety principles, risk assessment and regulatory requirements. You will work across a varied portfolio, supporting both existing assets and new projects from concept through to construction, commissioning and operation.
Key responsibilities will include leading dam safety inspections, surveillance programmes, condition assessments and performance reviews; reviewing instrumentation and monitoring data; identifying hazards and failure modes; and preparing risk assessments, dam safety management plans, emergency action plans and technical reports. You will develop scopes of work, manage investigations and design packages, and coordinate multidisciplinary teams, contractors, consultants and stakeholders. The role will also involve providing technical advice on remediation, upgrades, flood studies, seepage and stability assessments, construction quality and operational controls. You may be required to act as a technical lead or design manager on complex projects, ensuring that work is delivered safely, efficiently, to a high standard and in accordance with applicable legislation, standards and guidelines.
Applicants should hold a relevant engineering degree and be professionally registered, or eligible for registration, with the appropriate engineering institution. Significant experience in dam engineering, dam safety or a closely related discipline is required, together with demonstrated capability in project delivery and technical report writing. Experience with risk-informed decision-making, numerical analysis, geotechnical investigations, hydrology, hydraulics, structural assessment or dam surveillance would be highly valued. Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential, as is the ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a multidisciplinary team. A commitment to health, safety, environmental responsibility and continuous professional development is expected. Occasional travel to remote project sites may be required.
