  • Coastal engineering projects

Marine Risk and Navigation Studies

• Undertake ship collision risk assessments using IWRAP.
• Support navigation safety studies.
• Analyse vessel movement and marine traffic data.

Underwater Noise Assessment

• Perform underwater noise modelling using dBSea.
• Support marine environmental impact studies.
• Assess construction and operational noise impacts on sensitive marine receptors.

Data Processing and GIS

• Process and analyse:
  • Bathymetry datasets
  • Wind and meteorological data
  • Water level and tidal datasets
  • Current and wave measurements
  • Marine environmental monitoring data
• Develop:

  • Contour and velocity plots
  • Sediment dispersion maps
  • Impact assessment figures

Technical Reporting

• Prepare high-quality technical reports documenting:
  • Model setup
  • Input assumptions
  • Data sources
  • Calibration and validation
  • Results and conclusions
• Maintain complete traceability and documentation of modelling workflows.

Education

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in:
  • Civil Engineering
  • Coastal Engineering
  • Ocean Engineering
  • Marine Engineering
  • Environmental Engineering
  • Water Resources Engineering

Experience

• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience.
• Preferred 10+ years of experience in marine and coastal modelling.
• Experience on international marine projects is highly desirable.

Technical Skills

Essential

• MIKE 3
• MIKE Zero
• Advanced numerical modelling
• GIS (ArcGIS/QGIS)
• Advanced Excel

Preferred

• IWRAP
• dBSea
• Python scripting and automation
• Marine data analysis
• Offshore wind project experience

Key Competencies

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• High attention to detail and quality.
• Strong technical writing and reporting skills.
• Ability to collaborate with international project teams.
• Systematic approach to model development and documentation.

Deliverables

• Calibrated and validated marine models.
• Model result files and extracted statistics.
• GIS maps and visualisations.
• Technical reports and modelling documentation.
• Ship collision risk assessments.
• Underwater noise assessment outputs.
• Marine environmental modelling studies.

Preferred Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in MIKE 21 and MIKE 3 modelling, experience in marine hydrodynamics, sediment transport, water quality, and offshore infrastructure projects, and the ability to independently deliver modelling assignments for WSP Denmark's growing marine portfolio.
