Mott MacDonald is a unique company to work for, combining heritage, vision and values into an ethos that encourages innovative thinking and career progression in technical, management or commercial/client-facing directions, or a combination thereof. Our employee-owned structure enables us to shape our own future and pursue social outcomes in everything we do. It also puts our people, their development, and their wellbeing at the heart of our business. With us, you will have control of your own career path, which we will support through mentoring and training, but above all by giving you the opportunities to face new challenges and take more responsibilities.
We have a strong record in tackling the challenges affecting the water environment, including river catchments, from the source to the sea and water on the surface and underground. Within the current climate emergency, we are experts in understanding the impact of climate change on water availability and work with major UK water companies and international clients to ensure future demand for water is met and renewable energy schemes are feasible while preserving the environment. We contribute to improving the ecology of our rivers, aquifers and coastal areas by establishing the impact of abstractions and discharges and by defining sustainable ways of reducing pollution using nature-based solutions.
We are also supporting the Environment Agency, local authorities and major infrastructure developers to quantify the risk of flooding and to design the most effective flood protection measures including natural flood management.
As part of our team, you will have the chance to gain experience in different areas, such as:

- Combining climate projections with mathematical models representing surface and groundwater to establish the related impacts on floods and droughts.
- Delivering nature-based solutions to reduce flooding, increase ecological resilience and reduce pollution in rivers and aquifers. Land use changes, agricultural practices improvements, river restoration, wetlands and natural flood management measures are examples of this.
- Analysing big datasets and working with geographical information systems to identify trends in natural processes and to guide the identification of options.
- Undertaking flood modelling to define flood extents and the effectivity of flood protection measures, as well as computational fluid dynamics modelling to solve complex design problems.
- Understanding the role geomorphology of rivers and the coast can play in ensuring the long-term effectivity of infrastructure.
- Identifying the sources of water pollution, estimating its impacts on the aquatic ecology and establishing the best way to remediate them.
- Conducting water resources planning, selecting and appraising the best value options to safeguard the future supply of water.

As a graduate hydrogeologist, you will work alongside our experts to assist our clients to understand the reliability and vulnerability of their groundwater sources, to define catchment management measures to tackle aquifer pollution and to mitigate the impact of infrastructure on groundwater.
We deliver services in these areas to a variety of clients such as water companies, environmental regulators, and government bodies.
Typical duties and responsibilities may include:

- Ground and surface water quantity and quality analysis
- Hydrogeological analysis
- GIS analysis of hydrogeographic and water quality data. Prepare maps of groundwater elevations, geologic structure, cross-sections.
- Groundwater modelling
- Undertaking appropriate training and working towards professional qualification

We are looking for graduates with the following characteristics:

- Methodical approach to problem solving.
- Ability to use your initiative to undertake tasks efficiently and independently.
- Excellent verbal communication skills, which allow you to confidently liaise with clients and team members.
- Excellent written communication and attention to detail and be able to demonstrate accurate technical drawings and good report writing.

As we want the best people for the role, we support flexible working.
Please ask us at interview stage about any flexibility you may need.
