Job description
Role overview
SLR Consulting is hiring an experienced hydraulic modeller with strong TUFLOW expertise to strengthen its hydrology and modelling capability. The position supports flood risk management work, along with wider technical activities in water quality and related disciplines.
The consultancy works with a broad mix of private sector clients delivering practical, sustainable answers to environmental and climate-related challenges.
What the role involves
This opportunity is suited to a hydraulic modelling professional with at least 5 years of experience who can take ownership of technically demanding modelling assignments and provide clear technical direction.
Project work may include flood mitigation studies, water quality and sediment transport assessments, and large-scale green energy infrastructure. Experience working in line with Flood Planning Guidelines and the relevant hydraulic modelling standards in Ireland is expected.
The role also offers scope to contribute beyond technical delivery, including project management and business development, while becoming a valued part of an established team.
Location and working style
The position is based in the Dublin office, but the company is open to candidates elsewhere in Ireland, including Cork, and will consider remote working for the right person. Hybrid and flexible working arrangements are also available.

Candidate profile
The team is looking for someone who can help advance modelling capability by applying established and emerging hydraulic modelling tools to complex flood-risk and environmental problems. The ideal candidate can lead technical work, review complex outputs, communicate clearly with clients and internal stakeholders, and support the development of junior colleagues.
