Hydraulic Engineer
A skill practised within our “Engineering & architecture” team — plans, technical drawing, BIM modelling and project follow-up — by a salaried Good-ID employee, supervised by our project managers. Backed by 5 years of experience, the service is delivered in French (C1) and English (B2). Everything is delivered remotely under a service contract with Good-ID Sàrl, which remains the employer and answers for the result.
Role and background
Specializes in hydrology and hydraulics, with expertise in hydraulic and hydrological modeling using HEC-RAS and HEC-HMS software. Proficient in design and technical drafting tools, including AutoCAD and Covadis. Rigorous and methodical, capable of analyzing and optimizing hydraulic infrastructure for efficient water resource management. Immediately operational, providing significant added value to any infrastructure project in Europe.
Professional Experience
Assistant Hydraulic Engineer
Since May 2023
TOZZIGREEN Madagascar
Ivato, Antananarivo
Tozzigreen is a pioneering company in the development, construction, and operation of hydroelectric power plants in Madagascar. In this role, as a Hydraulic Engineering Assistant at the company, my responsibilities include
* Designing and sizing hydropower infrastructure—such as canals, dams, and penstocks—by applying scientific methods and using the HEC-RAS modeling tool.
* Evaluating water availability for power plants under development and estimating flood discharge rates using the HEC-HMS modeling software to ensure the safety of the infrastructure.
* Work closely with civil engineers and drafters to integrate simulation results into civil engineering plans using AutoCAD and COVADIS software.
Hydrological Study and Modeling
From 2023 to Sept. 2024
MASTER II THESIS PROJECT
Antsirabe
As part of the finalization of my study for the development of a 15 MW hydroelectric project located in Antsirabe, I
* Conducted a hydrological study of the project’s watershed using conventional methods, combining empirical and probabilistic approaches, to propose a development plan for the hydroelectric plant.
* Retrieved future climate data via Python from NASA servers, based on the RCP 4.5 scenario.
* Conducted geospatial analyses using ArcGIS Pro software to integrate land-use and land-cover data.
* Developed and calibrated HEC-HMS models for daily-resolution rainfall-runoff simulations, taking future climate data into account.
Professional Internship in Infrastructure
Nov. 2021–May 2022
DEFIS Manakara Program
Manakara, Madagascar
As part of an IFAD-funded project to develop an irrigated area, my responsibilities included
* Monitor and supervise the execution of hydro-agricultural development works, including a diversion dam and an irrigation network consisting of concrete and earthen canals.
* Supervise the site foreman and masons, providing technical assistance to ensure the work complied with the specifications.
* Participate in site meetings, prepare site logs, and track task progress.
* Prepare progress reports on the work.
* Oversee the quality of materials used for the project.
