**Water at Beca**

While water is the world’s most precious resource, at Beca, our people are our most precious resource. Together we are transforming our world. We are passionate about what we do and the culture we have developed. The more diverse we are, the better our ideas, strategies and client solutions will be and the more we will represent our world. We know that we are stronger when people from different backgrounds and perspectives work together. We are committed to growing an environment where our people have equal opportunity to build a career that reflects their ability & passions and believe in their potential, feel they belong and can be their best selves.

Beca is proudly employee-owned; after a century of operation, employee ownership remains key to Beca's future. It underpins our positive, purpose-driven, and growth-oriented culture; it sets us apart from our competitors, and it gives meaning to our 'social contract'. That is, we're accountable, we have each other's backs, we don’t let each other down, and we strive for excellence in everything we do.

We recognise that one of the challenges people can face in building their careers is managing work and home life. At Beca, we encourage our people to find an arrangement that works for them whether that involves part-time, work from home or flexible working arrangements. We are open to discussing options on how this could work for you for roles across our Water teams.

**The opportunity**

Our Water team works across water, wastewater, and stormwater, as well as surface waters and irrigation, partnering with clients spanning the municipal, industrial, transportation, commercial, mining, and agricultural sectors. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead of us and are well placed to help New Zealand advance and protect our world for our future generations. We all go to work to make the everyday or every day better in some way. Beca’s work impacts the everyday lives of almost everyone, every day.

To be part of our motivated and trusted Water team of engineers, scientists, project managers, modellers, and designers, we’re looking for a stormwater Hydraulic Modeller to join us in either of our Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch offices. We’re looking for a highly motivated individual who is dedicated to developing and sharing technical innovation to push boundaries and continually challenge and overcome conventions and constraints to make the everyday better. Every day will provide you with new challenges and look a little different, overall, this role will see you:

- Develop hydrological and hydraulic models of stormwater networks and open channel systems in 1D and 2D.
- Analyse and assess hydraulic, GIS and survey data.
- Utilize GIS software such as ARC, Global Mapper and QGIS.
- Undertake water resource investigations and planning studies.
