Hydraulic Technician jobs - Aqaba Jordan

<p><br></p><p>What you will do as a Hydraulic Engineer</p><p>We are looking for a Hydraulic / Flood Protection Engineer to support the Southern Expansion Project for the Arab Potash Company (APC). The role focuses primarily on the design and development of river training and hydraulic protection works, supporting safe and efficient implementation of flood protection measures in a complex wadi system. The Hydraulic Engineer will work closely with designers and modellers, providing technical expertise in the design and detailing of diversion dikes, wadi channel stabilisation measures, and erosion protection systems. The role is oriented towards translating hydraulic boundary conditions into practical and robust design solutions.</p><p>Project Context</p><p>Haskoning is supporting the Southern Expansion Project of the Arab Potash Company (APC), which includes large-scale hydraulic and onshore infrastructure works in the Aqaba / Dead Sea region. A key component of the project consists of designing wadi diversion and protection works around the South Expansion area. This includes the development of diversion dikes and reinforcement of existing wadi channels in a highly dynamic flash flood environment. The system is characterised by multiple wadis with different hydraulic behaviour, discharges, and sediment transport mechanisms. Designs must account for the interaction between hydraulic loading and the soil-bed system, including risks related to erosion, local scour, and the performance of rock armour layers, revetments, and related protection measures</p><p>Key Responsibilities</p><ul><li>Support the design and detailing of river training and hydraulic protection works, including:<ul><li>Diversion dikes for wadi systems</li><li>Bank protection, revetments and channel stabilisation measures</li></ul></li><li>Translate hydraulic inputs (discharges, water levels, velocities, sediment behaviour) into feasible and well-founded designs</li><li>Work closely with in-house modellers to iteratively develop and improve design solutions</li><li>Prepare and review design calculations, drawings, and technical documentation</li><li>Evaluate the adequacy of rock gradings, filter layers, and geotextiles in relation to hydraulic loading conditions</li><li>Contribute to design choices regarding materials, layouts, and constructability of protection works</li><li>Provide technical input on hydraulic risks, including erosion and scour, and propose mitigation measures</li><li>Support limited review of contractor submissions where relevant to hydraulic design intent</li><li>Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, including geotechnical, structural, and environmental specialists</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p><p>This vacancy is intended for a locally based candidate in Jordan .
