Senior Engineer - CFD

The Fire and Smoke Control Modelling Consultant is responsible for undertake Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modelling of spaces within structures (buildings/ tunnels) where active smoke control is required. The role requires an individual who is familiar with computer modelling tasks, who can build 1D or 3D models of the space, undertake CFD modelling and report back finding.

The individual should be comfortable to engage with various design disciplines to obtain the information required to undertake this analysis. They should have excellent communication skills. In addition, they should be able to present ideas/ topics within the 3D domain and assist in developing graphics for deliverables.

The engineer will be part of a wider multidisciplinary design team to deliver a design with the support of the wider fire and life safety team. A hands-on approach and excellent communicate skills, verbal and written are essential. Excellent report writing skills are also required.

• Develop and conduct fire and smoke control simulations using CFD software.
• Analyse fire dynamics and smoke movement in buildings and other structures.
• Skilled in clearly communicating analysis findings to ensure they are easily understood by all stakeholders.
• Collaborate with internal and external project stakeholders to communicate the CFD results and anticipated deliverables.
• Create comprehensive technical reports and presentations for clients and authorities.
• Develop high-quality technical report under the supervision of senior members.
• Able to undertake research on specific issues and suggest potential solutions.
• Communicate design requirement in a timely manner with the multidisciplinary design team.
• Ensure compliance to QMS policies and procedures.
