Background

​

We are looking to recruit a Project Engineer/Scientist to help deliver our growing ship navigation and mooring related work.  The successful candidate will join the Ships and Dredging Group at HR Wallingford and take an important role in consultancy and research work.  This will involve participating in ship navigation simulation studies, that often use our state of the art ship and tug simulators, and ship mooring studies that may use some of our extensive physical modelling facilities or numerical models.  The role will require excellent communication skills, underpinned by a technical background in a relevant engineering or scientific discipline.  Experience and knowledge of ship navigation, ship mooring and port operations/logistics related work will be an advantage.  The role will also provide the opportunity for innovative research and development to support this growing business area.

• Technical knowledge, experience and a strong interest in hydrology and water resources including the application and/or development of numerical models;

• Good attention to detail, record keeping, presentation and report writing skills; and
