Hydraulic Engineer, Proposals

As a Hydraulic Engineer – Proposals, you will contribute to large-scale hydroelectric projects across the Americas (Canada, USA, Brazil), in a collaborative environment where your ideas, analytical mindset, and ability to solve complex problems are valued. This role allows you to work with multidisciplinary teams, without hierarchical responsibilities, while having a direct impact on the solutions proposed to clients.

• Write hydraulic proposals and technical datasheets.
• Collaborate with engineering teams preparing preliminary component designs, CFD and FEA analyses, and model testing.
• Perform calculations to optimize the chosen solution and ensure it is executable without exposing ANDRITZ or the client to risks. This includes transient analyses, axial hydraulic thrust calculations, labyrinth selection and sizing, pressure fluctuation level assessments, etc.
• Participate in technical discussions with various stakeholders in a spirit of collaboration.
• Analyze client specifications/drawings and requirements, and recommend suitable hydraulic solutions using internal tools.
• Communicate with turbine mechanical and generator engineering teams to optimize solutions.

The ideal candidate should be willing to work in a complex, fast-paced environment, with evolving priorities. Result and solution-oriented candidates who follow through with ideas and commitments will perform well within ANDRITZ. As our projects have large scopes and often require years to be completed, your perseverance will be valued with us.

Successful teams share objectives, and they also share values! In addition to your strong skills and experience, we need someone with high motivation, a positive mindset, and a willingness to be part of a team.
