- Job description- Hydrogeology is critical to supporting operational decisions, our environmental regulation and to further our understanding of the pressures placed on our water resources because of climate change. For this role the groundwater of the chalk aquifer plays a central role in drinking water supply as well as sustaining flow and supporting ecosystems dependent on the rare chalk streams.
In this role you will provide technical advice on hydrogeological and water resource activities, working in collaboration with colleagues in hydrology, water resources planning, monitoring, hydroecology, and contaminated land. The role will help to ensure that future water demands are met whilst protecting groundwater and rivers and will include:

- Working with licence holders, particularly water companies, to ensure licences are sustainable from our Chalk, and other aquifers;
- updating resource strategy and identify water resource initiatives, using our state of the art groundwater models;
- deliver our Water Framework Directive measures and Restoring Sustainable abstraction investigations.

Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You will be required to have an incident role and make yourself available to respond to incidents, or provide business continuity support during an incident. This may attract an additional payment and full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.
- The team- The post is part of the Groundwater and Hydrology team in the Hertfordshire and North London Area. We are responsible for providing technical and scientific expertise to internal teams, and to a wide range of external stakeholders, all to protect the quantity of groundwater.
We are based in the Area office in Welwyn Garden City, with some remote working, visits to other offices and occasional site work.
- Experience/skills required- We are seeking an individual with a strong scientific background in hydrogeology. You will be qualified to MSc level or similar and have relevant experience in water resources. Ideally you will have groundwater model user skills.
You are enthusiastic to protect and promote groundwater. You will identify issues and solutions for a wide range of groundwater related activities. You will be able to communicate and present convincing verbal and written arguments to different audiences, both internally and externally.
We would like you to join us if you are confident in making reasoned, technically challenging decisions that enable us manage water resources sustainably into the future.
- Contact and additional information- The Environment Agency are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We welcome flexible working patterns for all our vacancies, including job share.
Everyone starting in a new role will be welcomed into the team and given all the training and support needed. As part of your comprehensive induction, you will be provided with all the equipment required for your role.
We offer an extensive range of employee benefits and the opportunity to progress your career with us via professional training routes such as apprenticeships and degree programmes.

Interviews will be held in March.
