About You
You’ll have 5+ years’ experience delivering UK Hydrogeology or water environment projects, ideally including EIA work, backed by a degree in Hydrogeology, Environmental Science, Geoscience or a related discipline.
You’ll need experience across areas such as hydrogeological assessment, water monitoring, risk assessment or abstraction licensing, together with a good understanding of UK water legislation and regulatory requirements.
Strong technical reporting and communication skills are important. GIS, analysis or modelling software experience would be useful rather than essential.
You’ll be Chartered or working towards Chartered status and will need a driving licence that allows you to drive legally in the UK for site visits.
The package includes £52,000 - £62,000, discretionary bonus, pension, private medical insurance and 25 days’ annual leave. Flexible and hybrid working are available, alongside structured career development and support towards Chartership and professional qualifications.
