Descrizione del lavoro

SUEZ is a world leader in smart and sustainable resource management, and our Air & Climate unit provides consulting services and develop and deploy digital solutions that address the key environmental needs of our customers.

ARIANET, the Air & Climate unit in Italy, delivers studies, develops, designs, installs and manages cutting-edge solutions related to air quality management: diagnostic, real-time monitoring, forecast and scenario studies, for a proven customer base of industries, public and para-public entities.

To provide the best environmental solutions for our customers, we are strengthening our applied modeling team which performs studies and develops and manage simulation systems in industrial and urban areas.

In this context, we are looking for an:

Air quality modeler

Your mission

You will join the ARIANET team, and you will be involved in atmospheric modelling, concerning mainly dispersion, chemical transformation and ground deposition of pollutants at regional and urban scales.

You will mainly use a simulation system including meteorological and emission models and based on FARM (Flexible Air Quality Regional Model) chemical-transport model, developed by ARIANET in collaboration with national and international research centers and with a significant user base.

You will contribute to the multiple applications of the system, typically: operational forecast of ambient air quality, yearly air quality assessments, reconstruction of past events, estimation of sources contributions, scenario studies in support of policy planning and impact assessment studies. These activities will also include drafting the relevant technical reports and presenting the results to clients, mostly public but also private.

You will progressively participate in the development of the models’ new features, documenting them.

You will also be able to actively participate in research activities carried out within European projects and to contribute to the drafting of scientific publications.

Your profile

You are the one if you:

• have a master's degree in physics, engineering, environmental sciences, or related disciplines
• possess basic knowledge of atmospheric physics and/or meteorology, acquired through university courses or documented post-graduate experience
• have 2-4 years’ work experience in the field of atmospheric modelling
• have a good command of Unix/Linux environments and of Fortran or Python programming languages
• have good knowledge of the English language and good writing skills
• have a strong motivation and interest in actively working in the environmental field
• have good analytical and communication skills
• can work independently while coordinating within a team

Following proven expertise and skills are a strong plus:

• PhD in meteorology, atmospheric physics or chemistry, natural sciences, environmental engineering
• experience with numerical modeling and scientific programming
• high-performance computing environments, parallelization and optimization of computational codes
• use of machine-learning in support of quantitative analyses and modelling in environmental field
• use of GIS for environmental applications

Conditions

Place of work: Milano.

Salary: 32-38 k€ yearly gross (excluding bonus), commensurate with the qualifications and experience of the candidate.
