Cardiff, United Kingdom Hydrock Full time

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Principal Flood Risk Consultant to join our thriving Water Environment team within our London office.

This is an excellent opportunity to join an established team, lead models on a range of projects locally and nationally, while mentoring and developing other consultants in the business.

The role requires developing relationships with clients and regulators as well as management of varied and challenging projects.

What will you be responsible for?

  • Working within a growing multi-disciplinary consultancy, and operating across a matrix of projects.
  • You will also be tasked with work winning, budgetary control of project finances and preparing fee proposals and developing the Water & Environment Team in this region.
  • Working in a design office environment but also playing an active role in design and site meetings, site inspections and progress reporting.
  • Good communication and liaison with clients, architects, contractors and regulatory/statutory authorities.
  • Hydrological and hydraulic modelling.
  • Bid preparation and fee proposals.
  • Research and business development of potential new clients.

  • A strong Bachelor's degree and possibly a higher degree in a water subject combined with well-established consultancy/industry experience as a senior modeler.
  • Substantial experience of undertaking flood risk assessments in accordance with NPPF (and/or TAN 15), but the primary focus of the role is hydrological and hydraulic modelling, often in Flood Modeler Pro or TUFLOW.
  • You will possess a good understanding of the workings of the Environment Agency (and Natural Resources Wales) and Lead Local Flood Authorities, as well as up to date knowledge of current planning policies and procedures and how these can be utilised to maximise the level of service offered to our clients whilst gaining required approvals.
  • High motivation for this specific opportunity.
  • Self-motivated team player with exceptional people skills.
  • Ability to work under own initiative while fully coordinating with line manager’s requirements.
  • An understanding of the developer industry would be advantageous.

We are an integrated multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy of over 900 staff in 21 offices across the UK. Our driving motivation is to be a ‘Force for Good’, as it is our aim to improve the quality of people’s lives from our employees to our clients, through to the communities we work in and our planet as a whole through the work we do.

Named as Building’s Engineering Consultant of the Year in 2023, we’re known for delivering outstanding sustainable projects for our communities, planet, and society.

Some of these projects have recently received industry accolades, including Cleveland Pools winning the Conservation and Regeneration category at the Construction Excellence South West Awards 2023; Bay Technology Centre named Commercial Project of the Year at the British Construction Industry Awards 2022; YGG Tan-y-Lan picked out in the Integration and Collaborative Working category at Construction Excellence Wales Awards 2022; The Deaf Academy singled out for its Universal Design at the Civic Trust Awards 2022; and Bristol’s iconic waterfront Wapping Wharf Living sweeping up at the Bristol Property Awards.

Benefits:

  • An opportunity to develop your soft skills, as well your technical skills.
  • Excellent health benefits, 25 days of holiday (buy/sell up to five days), accrue 1 day extra every 2 years, with bonus holidays too
  • An earlier finish on Friday (4pm).
  • An opportunity to give back: “Day off for good cause” (on a workday).
  • A huge range of flexible benefits, including climate perks and an EV car leasing scheme.
