The role can be placed in several office locations across the UK
Do you have experience in hydrology, hydraulic modelling and flood risk assessment, and want to apply it to challenging projects in the UK and internationally?
Would you enjoy solving complex water-related problems across infrastructure, climate resilience, water management, mining and hydropower projects?
Are you looking for a role where you can develop your technical expertise while taking increasing responsibility for project delivery and client relationships?
If this sounds like you, or you’re curious to learn more, then this role could be the perfect opportunity. Join our UK Water team as our new Hydrologist / Hydraulic Modeller and work with us to close the gap to a sustainable future.
Your new role
You will join our UK Water team as an experienced hydrologist and hydraulic modeller, bringing strong technical expertise and relevant consultancy or industry experience.
