Project Engineer Hydraulic Engineering (m/f/d)

Role:

On behalf of a client, we are looking for a qualified specialist as a Project Engineer in Hydraulic Engineering / Urban Water Management for the planning and handling of demanding infrastructure projects in an established Swiss engineering office. You will support the design of hydraulic engineering, watercourse maintenance and municipal infrastructure projects from feasibility study to execution and gradually take on independent project responsibility. The focus is on hydraulic calculation and modelling with HEC-RAS 1D/2D, technical design as well as the development of sustainable watercourse and flood protection solutions. The position offers a professional development perspective in the fields of hydraulic engineering, hydraulics, urban water management and infrastructure planning with the opportunity to develop towards project management in the long term.

Responsibilities:

• Hydraulic Engineering Design: Participation in the planning and handling of hydraulic engineering projects, watercourse revitalisations, stream restorations and flood protection measures.

• Hydraulic Calculations: Conducting flow calculations, water level calculations, hydraulic verifications and dimensioning for flowing waters and hydraulic structures.

• HEC-RAS Modelling: Creation, processing and evaluation of hydraulic 1D and 2D models with HEC-RAS to assess flow conditions and flood risks.

• Flood Protection and Watercourse Management: Development and evaluation of flood protection concepts, retention measures, watercourse expansions and sustainable protection solutions.

• Urban Infrastructure: Participation in projects for the renewal, rehabilitation and further development of municipal drainage and water infrastructures.

• Feasibility and Variant Studies: Development of technical solution variants, variant comparisons, feasibility studies and project bases.

• Technical Planning: Creation and review of project plans, longitudinal profiles, cross profiles, terrain models and detailed hydraulic documents.

• GIS and Geodata Analysis: Evaluation of digital terrain models, hydrological fundamentals, geodata and catchment area analyses for hydraulic engineering issues.

• Technical Reports and Documentation: Preparation of hydraulic reports, calculation verifications, project descriptions and decision bases for clients and authorities.

• Project Coordination: Collaboration with civil engineers, environmental specialists, geomatics experts, municipalities, cantonal authorities and external specialists.

• Standards and Approval Procedures: Consideration of Swiss hydraulic engineering regulations, water protection legislation, FOEN guidelines and relevant SIA standards.

• Execution Support: Assistance with tenders, technical clarifications, construction inspections and implementation of hydraulic engineering measures.

Qualifications:

• Completed studies in civil engineering FH/ETH or comparable university degree in environmental engineering with a focus on hydraulic engineering, hydraulics or water management.

• Basic knowledge or initial professional experience in hydraulic engineering, hydraulics or urban water management; also suitable for university graduates with corresponding specialisation.

• Knowledge of hydraulic calculation methods and numerical modelling, ideally with HEC-RAS 1D/2D.

• Basic knowledge in hydrology, flowing water hydraulics, flood protection and watercourse development.

• Experience with CAD and GIS applications, such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, QGIS or comparable software, is an advantage.

• Knowledge of Swiss hydraulic engineering and water protection regulations, especially relevant FOEN basics and cantonal guidelines, is an advantage.

• Good German language skills in spoken and written form for technical reports, project documentation and collaboration with municipalities and authorities.

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