- Experience in some or all of the following: flood estimation methods, undertaking environmental impact assessments, drainage and SUDs design, river engineering and water resource assessment.
- Experience of managing projects and acting as technical discipline lead on multi-disciplinary projects.
- The ability to communicate in a fluent and positive manner with other team members and to produce reports in plain English.
- Good problem solving/contingency planning skills with ability to find quick, innovative and practical solutions
- Effective negotiation and persuading skills, able to manage and diffuse challenging situations.
