Fluid Dynamics Specialist

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated Scientist to join our Fluid Dynamics Team in the Analysis and Risk Capability Group. The team carry out numerical analysis across a broad range of fluid flow problems using various techniques including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Our main expertise lies in the analysis and modelling of fluid flows using approaches ranging from simple empirical and integral models to large complex three-dimensional CFD simulations. We apply mathematical skills to a wide range of health and safety-related applications such as gas dispersion, two-phase flows, fire and smoke movement, source terms and explosions. We are also involved in the development, evaluation and review of models.

The work carried out by the team is project-based and can vary greatly in nature. Projects may be internally or externally funded, research or support projects, or incident investigations. There is a strong emphasis on team working and collaboration, and you will be expected to work with specialists and technical experts across many other disciplines.

• Apply knowledge on fluid dynamics and modelling to research projects for HSE or externally funded projects
• Report the outcomes of scientific work through writing reports and papers, presentations and providing verbal feedback to customers
• Liaise and collaborate with colleagues in other parts of HSE to support multi-disciplinary teams to offer the best possible service to customers
• Manage your time and resources within your control to ensure that projects are completed to time and cost
• Contribute to the development of future work for the Team by providing ideas and technical input to bids
• Take personal responsibility for ensuring that your training and development are aligned with business objectives
