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**:

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

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

If you want to make a meaningful contribution to society, if you are motivated to grow, and if you want to join a business with genuine opportunities for career progression, then we’d love to hear from you.
