As part of the Water Environment Department, you’ll promote the sustainable management of water resources, helping to protect the water environment, make people and places safer and more resilient to flood risk and climate change.

  2. As a Principal Flood Risk Modeller, you'll provide technical direction to the teams’ modellers and be responsible for the quality of flood risk modelling deliverables: you will use your experience in flood risk assessment and management within a multi-disciplinary environment influencing the approach to modelling and decision making in relation to the flood risk mitigation measures proposed.
  3. Depending on your project management experience you will take the lead or work closely with project managers to coordinate resources, administer contracts, manage clients, and track quality/programme/budget. Your role will include acting as a mentor for team members supporting the development of their skills, providing technical guidance and supervising their deliverables.

To be successful in this role you'll:

  1. Have significant experience in hydraulic modelling applied to a range of projects.
  2. Demonstrate good technical understanding of UK hydrology and open channel hydraulics.
  3. Demonstrate knowledge and experience of standard hydraulic modelling packages e.g. Innovyze ICM, Flood Modeller Pro, TUFLOW, HEC-RAS or SRH2D.
  4. Demonstrate ability to lead and manage projects, working within agreed deliverables, key milestones, project methodology, quality assurance and control strategy.
  5. Understand economic appraisals (MCM, B£ST etc).
  6. Have experience in optioneering and schematic design.
  7. Possess the soft skills to successfully deliver public and statutory consultations.
  8. Knowledge of Flood Risk Assessment, Natural Flood Management and Sustainable Drainage techniques is also desirable.
  9. Hold chartered status from an appropriate institution (C.Eng or C.WEM).
  10. Hold an MSc\MEng and\or PhD focussed on either hydrology, hydraulic modelling, water resources or other applied environmental science subject.

At Sweco we don’t limit ourselves to traditional approaches – we collaborate across the business to create and deliver truly holistic solutions with our clients that address, capture the power of, and make our societies more.

Our commitment is future focused, finding solutions for future challenges, today. This is an exciting time to join Sweco and if you want to be part of a company who is small in all the best ways but large enough to provide a diverse and exciting workload, this job is for you.

We are building and expanding on our large clients portfolio which includes key water companies, local authorities, infrastructures/utilities providers (e.g. National Highways and energy providers) and developers. In answer to the increasing pressure to deliver truly sustainable water resources management and to constantly improve the service we offer to our clients we are growing our teams and diversifying our specialisms.

We promise a meaningful job where your work will drive environmental, economic and societal development.
