Experience with marine intake and outfall systems, including hydrodynamic on-bottom stability, hydraulic designs, diffuser configuration design and near-field modelling. b. Experience with design of coastal structures, e.g. revetments, breakwaters, shore protection and scour protection. c. Experience with evaluation of the coastal environment of a specific site, taking into account all local coastal processes (may include site reconnaissance). d. Experience in modelling/analysis of coastal processes and beach/nearshore morphology, e.g. to inform development setbacks and/or dredging requirements. e. Experience in coastal engineering and associated processes, e.g. assessments of extreme water levels (min/max), structure overtopping and wave loading. f. Experience in defining the environmental design conditions and interpretation of environmental parameters. g. Translation of numerical modelling results into representative design conditions to establish a basis of design. h. Experience in port planning and operations. + Concept to detail design and construction drawing production on the type of projects mentioned above, demonstrating a deep understanding of the coastal processes involved in this work. + Experience in coastal engineering and other software tools will be an advantage: (1) AutoCAD Civil3D, Revit, BIM (2) UNIBEST-CL+, XBEACH or similar (shoreline models, storm erosion models) (3) Modelling software such as SWAN, Deltares Delft-3D and DHI Mike (4) Orcaflex + Key competence in digital engineering and computer proficiency using MATLAB / PYTHON to facilitate designs. + Knowledge and demonstrated experience in using coastal design guidelines and standards, e.g. Rock Manual, CEM, DNV, BS codes, EuroTop. **Key Competencies and Generic Skills** + Analytical and problem-solving thinking and approach + Ability to work effectively and to be focused on delivery + Ability to work independently by own initiative, as well as part of a team + Ability to manage and plan his/her own time and workload to meet deadlines and in line with appropriate standards + Good verbal and written communication skills, especially within a team set-up, ability to explain technical work clearly + Attention to detail + Willing and keen to learn + Creative and critical thinking in terms of challenging the normal and the abnormal + Flexibility and adaptability to changing environments + Trustworthy and a team worker, with leadership capabilities
