Project Engineer Hydraulic Engineering (m/f/d)

Role:

On behalf of a client, we are looking for a specialist as a Project Engineer: Hydraulic Engineering / Urban Water Management for the planning and processing of diverse hydraulic engineering and infrastructure projects in an established Swiss engineering office. You will work on demanding projects in the fields of hydraulic engineering, river revitalisation, flood protection, and municipal urban infrastructure from study to realisation. The focus is on hydraulic calculations, 1D/2D modelling with HEC-RAS, technical project planning, and sustainable watercourse development, taking into account relevant Swiss standards and guidelines. The position offers structured professional development with the opportunity to gradually take on project responsibility and tasks in project management.

Responsibilities:

• Hydraulic engineering and infrastructure planning: Participation in the planning and design of hydraulic engineering, watercourse, and urban infrastructure projects across various SIA project phases.

• Hydraulic modelling: Conducting hydraulic calculations and 1D/2D simulations with HEC-RAS to assess flow conditions and flood scenarios.

• Flood protection and watercourse development: Involvement in the development of flood protection measures, river revitalisation, and hydraulic engineering rehabilitation concepts.

• Hydrological and hydraulic analyses: Evaluation of flow data, design floods, water level positions, and hydraulic loads.

• Project planning and variant studies: Preparation of feasibility studies, preliminary projects, technical variants, and hydraulic engineering solution concepts.

• Technical reports and documentation: Preparation of hydraulic proofs, calculation reports, project reports, and decision-making bases.

• Urban water management: Participation in projects for the renewal, rehabilitation, and sustainable development of municipal water infrastructures.

• CAD and GIS planning: Preparation and evaluation of terrain models, cross-sections, digital geodata, and technical planning bases.

• Project coordination: Coordination of technical issues with project managers, specialist planners, municipalities, authorities, and external specialists.

• Standards and water protection: Consideration of relevant SIA standards, FOEN requirements, water protection regulations, and hydraulic engineering guidelines.

• Project development: Gradual assumption of partial project responsibility, schedule and cost control, as well as tasks in project management.

Qualifications:

• Completed studies as a civil engineer FH/ETH or environmental engineer FH/ETH with a focus on hydraulic engineering, hydraulics, or urban water management.

• Basic knowledge in hydraulic engineering, hydrology, and hydraulics, ideally from studies, internships, or initial professional experience.

• Knowledge in hydraulic modelling with HEC-RAS 1D/2D or comparable simulation software is an advantage.

• Knowledge of CAD and GIS applications, such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or QGIS, is an advantage.

• Basic knowledge of Swiss SIA standards, water protection legislation, and relevant FOEN guidelines.

• Initial experience in technical project planning, preparation of calculation reports, or handling infrastructure projects is an advantage.

• Very good German language skills for technical reports, project documentation, and collaboration with authorities and clients.

• Interesting and varied activities/projects
• Attractive training and development opportunities
• Experienced and dynamic team
• Market- and performance-based salaries
