Mariya Peris

• Collaborated with a cross-functional project design team in the South Eastern Program Alliance (SEPA) level crossing removal program to ensure final upgrades effectively mitigated flood impacts while maintaining practical and cohesive design.
• Delivered comprehensive project status updates to clients and senior management, preparing monthly progress reports to highlight key achievements and track timeline milestones.
• Fostered strong client relationships through consistent communication updates, ensuring trust and confidence in successful project delivery.
• Undertook risk assessment and implemented mitigation measures to minimise project risks during the delivery phase
• Oversaw financial management of projects, ensuring accurate pricing during the pursuit phase for realistic budgeting, with precise forecasting throughout delivery to uphold budget integrity.
• Successfully managed multiple projects concurrently, meeting deadlines while maintaining high-quality standards
• Conducted hydrological (RORB) and hydraulic (TUFLOW) modelling, including model setup, simulation management, and results interpretation. Collaborated with project lead to align modelling outputs with project specifications.
• Effectively communicated flood mapping model outputs through comprehensive maps, reports, and memos
• Increased overall productivity by refining workflows through process mapping detailed 'how to guides' for various technical processes
• Mentored graduate engineers, offering guidance on key industry skills and supporting their professional development journey.
• Assisted in graduate engineer recruitment, managing candidate shortlisting, participating in interviews, and assessing performance to ensure the best selection for the team

Dam risk modelling for dam owners, analysis of HEC Life-Sim model outputs using GIS software to present key information in reporting, and conducted economic assessments to determine cost of dam failure.

Hydraulic modelling for urban drainage studies, flood assessments and flood impact assessments for developers and clients in water sector across Australia. Assisted in the set up of hydraulic TUFLOW models, interpreted and collated model results, through the use of excel and GIS software.
