Want to push the boundaries of hydraulic modelling and work with cutting-edge technology?


Influx Search is partnering with a global leader in water infrastructure optimisation. We’re looking for a Hydraulic Modeller to join their Strategic Support Team, working closely with customers to deliver innovative solutions in the water industry.


What’s the job?


This is a customer-facing, hands-on role that blends technical expertise with problem-solving and strategic thinking. You’ll be working with utilities, supporting them in hydraulic modelling and optimisation projects, and providing training to help them get the most from advanced software solutions.


Day-to-day, you could be:


  • Collaborating with customers to solve complex water infrastructure challenges
  • Developing and refining hydraulic models using industry-leading tools
  • Supporting sales with technical insights and project quotes
  • Providing feedback to the software development team to enhance product capabilities
  • Managing customer expectations and ensuring they see real value from solutions
  • Occasionally traveling (including internationally) to engage with clients


Who are we looking for?


The ideal candidate is an experienced hydraulic modeller who wants to do more than just deliver projects—you want to drive innovation and challenge the status quo.


We’re looking for someone with:


  • Strong technical background in hydraulic modelling for clean or wastewater networks (experience with EPANET, WaterGEMS, InfoWorks WS Pro, etc.)
  • GIS expertise (ESRI ArcGIS or QGIS)
  • A proactive, independent mindset – you take ownership and make things happen
  • Excellent communication skills – you’ll be working closely with clients and teams globally
  • A desire to learn and adapt – the environment is fast-moving and ever-evolving


Bonus points if you have experience with data science, AI/ML applications, or programming (Python, JavaScript, etc.).


If you’re currently in a consultancy and feel restricted by rigid roles, this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.


Why join?


  • Work at the forefront of water industry innovation
  • Enjoy a dynamic, non-siloed environment where you have real impact
  • Be part of a small, highly skilled team driving real change
