  1. Significant experience in hydraulic modelling applied to a range of projects.
  2. Good technical understanding of UK hydrology and open channel hydraulics.
  3. Knowledge and experience of standard hydraulic modelling packages e.g. Innovyze ICM, Flood Modeller Pro, TUFLOW, HEC-RAS or SRH2D.
  4. Ability to lead and manage projects, working within agreed deliverables, key milestones, project methodology, quality assurance and control strategy.
  5. Understanding of economic appraisals (MCM, B£ST etc).
  6. Experience in optioneering and schematic design.
  7. 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. Chartered status from an appropriate institution (C.Eng or C.WEM).
  10. MSc/MEng and/or PhD focused on either hydrology, hydraulic modelling, water resources or other applied environmental science subject.

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