Due to strong organic growth, we are seeking a Senior Coastal Modeller to join our team. This would be based in our Brisbane Office, Australia.
About JBP and the JBA Group
We are experts in natural disasters, dedicated to working on the worlds extreme weather related problems. Our coastal team works throughout the coastal zone, supporting disaster risk reduction studies and engineering projects for communities living on the coast. We use advanced modelling and climate data to understand coastal hazards, impacts and forces now and in the future.
JBP are the Australia-Pacific arm of the international, employee-owned JBA Group. Our coastal team works alongside our offices in Singapore, Cambodia and Europe, and pride ourselves in our internal research and development, the support we give to local universities (https://jbpacific.com.au/research/) and internationally through the JBA Trust (https://www.jbatrust.org/).
We’re a forward-thinking, people-centric organisation that recognises the importance of working as one team towards a common goal. As a successful and growing employee owned business, we recognise and reward the contributions of our people and provide real opportunities and pathways for career progression. All company ownership remains with our employees, with profits shared back through an employee ownership trust.
Sustainability is integral to our long-term success. It’s a core aim of JBP (and JBA) to have a positive impact on our colleagues, clients, suppliers, and the local communities and environments in which we work. We’re committed to applying a principles-based approach to business, incorporating The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, and actively contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To help us achieve these aims, we champion sustainability within all our operations and client services. We effectively promote sustainability in all our practices, operations, and business planning.
As a business, we’re probably more aware than most of the impacts of sea level rise, land use change, habitat loss, soil and water degradation, and climate change.

This shapes our company focus on extreme weather and natural disasters.
