Lead and coordinate model build, verification and scenario testing (e.g., climate change, breach/blockage, sensitivities) ensuring outputs are fit for purpose. Provide technical direction on data requirements, boundary conditions, model schematisation, mesh strategy, time step selection, roughness/structures representation, stability/performance and optimisation. Interpret and communicate results into clear, decision-ready advice for clients and design teams (mitigation optioneering, levels/FFL strategy, safe access/egress, residual risk, exceedance routing, floodplain compensation concepts where applicable).
