Senior modelling and data engineer

The digital transformation of the water sector is accelerating, with increasing demand for innovative solutions in modelling, data, and digital twins.
To support this momentum, we are looking for a water-passioned technical colleague who wants to help solve the big issues in our water industry using the power of modern digital tools.

AM-Team is a digital changemaker that provides leading modelling and data services and digital twin solutions that tackle the water industry's biggest issues.
We help water utilities, industrial end users, engineering and consultancy firms and (digital) technology vendors throughout the various stages of technology development, planning, design and operation.
The big issues we focus on are climate change adaptation and mitigation, meeting regulatory demands, maximisation and future-proofing of treatment assets, overcoming workforce bottlenecks and obtaining actionable digitalisation at the treatment side.
Our unique 'model-fit-for-purpose' approach allows us to smartly combine different modelling solutions, including mechanistic (such as dynamic and computational fluid dynamics models), data-driven (such as statistical models and machine learning) and hybrid approaches.

Why work with us? Founded in 2017, we have been developing a globally unique digital offering that has reached unprecedented market relevance.
We could build a well-known brand, an international customer base of over 100 companies, solid international water industry experience and a strong financial muscle.
We now want to capitalise on this foundation and need you to make digital water work at a global scale.
We have entered the era of 'digital' while the topics of 'water' and 'climate' are more important than ever.
Yes indeed, the market is developing fast, and the timing is exactly right to join us.

We're looking for a water-passioned person who loves combining the water and wastewater treatment side with data, models and digital twins.
