✨ Your job as Flood Modeling Expert

Develop riverine and pluvial flood risk assessments methods, using hydrological and hydraulic modeling at difference scale (local site, cities, regions). The risk assessment covers present and future climate scenarios. It also includes cost benefit analysis of adaptation measures.

Main responsibilities of the role include:

• Development of pluvial and fluvial flood hazard models, specially in urban areas. It includes rainfall-runoff modelling (hydrology) and flood propagation models (hydraulics). Generation of inland flood hazard maps at regional scale.
• Assessment of the feasibility of different flood mitigation alternatives, by means of quantitative methods such as Cost Benefit Analysis.
• Support consulting missions by providing local flood risk assessments that combine flood hazard, exposure and vulnerability analysis, for different infrastructure types (rail, road, dams, etc.) and assets.
• Support our training activity by collaborating with academia and developing training materials.

This role will work hand-in-hand with the Lead Hydraulic Engineer at AXA Climate to help in boosting science as a strong differentiating factor for our business.
