Additionally, the candidate should have knowledge of modeling platforms such as ADCIRC, SWAN, Delft3D, and Delft3D-FM. Proficiency in SMS post-processing, ArcGIS post-processing, and MATLAB coding and post-processing abilities is also required.

Join Olsson and be part of a team that’s shaping the future of our coastlines!
