- Commission and manage 3rd party flood risk and mitigation studies.
- Advise on structural flood protection measures (e.g., drainage systems, retention basins, and other green infrastructure) to manage runoff, including preliminary sizing of the protection measures to ensure adequate space for implementation in the layout.
- Advise on non-structural flood protection measures, such as simple delineation of floodplain zoning according to water height and velocity, proposing restrictions on PV development in areas prone to damage.
- Propose erosion control measures such as vegetation covers, mulching and matting, and contour ploughing for agrivoltaics projects.
- Propose sediment control plans including silt fences, sediment basins, etc.
- Work with the PV engineers to implement proposed solutions in PV park designs at the development stage.
- Advise on the most appropriate location for heavy equipment according to the preliminary flood risk assessment, e.g., transformer stations and substations.
- Advise on minimum heights for electrical equipment according to the preliminary flood risk assessment, e.g., PV modules, string inverters, etc.
Minimum Requirements:
- Master's degree in Hydrology/Water Resource Engineering or a similar degree.
- More than 3 years of experience in hydrology.
- Experience in development engineering performing the duties explained in the job description.
- Experience in detail engineering implementing the flood protection measures, including site visits, is highly valuable.
- Experience in different countries, with the ability to adapt to various international and local standards.
- Ability to work in dynamic project teams.
- Ability to work autonomously.
- Strong analytical skills.
- Fluent in English and Spanish (other European languages are a big plus).
