Working Student – GIS and Hydrodynamic Modelling (all genders)

HAMBURG WASSER brings the water cycle together under one roof, from drinking-water supply to wastewater disposal. With around 2,400 employees and more than 20 locations, it ensures day after day that things run smoothly in Hamburg. Together with its subsidiaries, it invests its experience in pioneering water and environmental-protection projects. Openness, appreciation, trust, respectful and peaceful cooperation, and a diverse community define the organisation.

What we are changing: The urban hydrology team’s motto is: Measure, model and shape the future. Its goal is to develop future-oriented, holistic urban hydrology that views precipitation, water bodies, sewer systems, the surface, evaporation and groundwater as one hydrological unit, while considering the interests of residents, business and nature in a balanced way for the wider economy. One of its core tasks is modelling flooding caused by heavy rainfall. The team created Hamburg’s heavy-rainfall hazard map and continuously improves the underlying 1D/2D models to provide a reliable basis for heavy-rainfall preparedness in Hamburg.

Your responsibilities:

• Review and correct coupled 1D/2D flood models and GIS data
• Analyse digital terrain data and heavy-rainfall events
• Support GIS departments in Tanzania as part of an operator partnership
• Support the analysis and processing of flooding problems
• Create training videos for the simulation platform

What you bring:

• Enrolled in a degree programme in geoinformatics/geoinformation, hydroinformatics, civil engineering, environmental engineering or a comparable field
• Good GIS skills are required
• Knowledge of hydrodynamic modelling is desirable; knowledge of surveying may also be useful
• An independent and structured working style, together with an interest in working collaboratively in a team

What you can expect:

• Well supported: A challenging role with individual support from the specialist departments, diverse learning and professional-development opportunities, and group-wide development opportunities can help you progress after your studies.
