  • Ensuring safety through the evaluation of various systems.
  • Overseeing the commissioning, operation, refurbishment, and enhancement of tunnel infrastructure.
  • Conducting on-site inspections and performance assessments of ventilation systems.
  • Utilizing fluid mechanics and thermodynamics for fire and ventilation modeling.
  • Executing fire safety engineering, risk assessments, and evacuation analysis.
Qualifications:
  • Demonstrated experience in the design of ventilation systems for road and rail tunnels, as well as fire and life-safety systems.
  • Strong technical and numerical skills developed through academic training, with a solid understanding of fire dynamics, heat transfer, and smoke behavior in confined spaces.
  • Proficiency in 1D design tools such as IDA for Road and SES for rail applications.
  • Experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics modeling and visualization using software like FDS, Pyrosis, and Smokeview.
  • Expertise in Movement Modeling Analysis for evacuation and crowd simulations using tools like Pathfinder.
  • Current knowledge of relevant legislation and standards in tunnel ventilation design.
  • Ability to demonstrate technical proficiency while mentoring and developing junior professionals.
Additional Expectations:
  • A strong desire to excel and advance in your career.
  • A collaborative spirit and the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary and international teams.
  • Strong communication skills for producing clear and concise reports and presentations.
  • Willingness to travel for short assignments to engage with challenging projects or attend esteemed conferences.
