Overview
Job Description
Opportunity for a Flood Risk Modeller to join our experienced team in Over, near Almondsbury, Bristol, BS32 4DF. The role requires direct contact with clients and regulators and management of varied and challenging projects within this growing division of our multidisciplinary engineering consultancy. You will have experience of undertaking flood risk assessments in accordance with NPPF (and/or TAN 15) but the primary focus of the role is hydrological and hydraulic modelling, often in Flood Modeller Pro or TUFLOW. An understanding of the developer industry would be advantageous. You will possess a good understanding of the workings of the Environment Agency (and Natural Resources Wales) and Lead Local Flood Authorities as well as up to date knowledge of current planning policies and procedures and how these can be utilised to maximise the level of service offered to our clients whilst gaining required approvals. Ideally, you will have a first degree (or equivalent) in an engineering or physical science and possibly a higher degree in a water subject combined with a good level of consultancy / industry experience.

Lunchtimes provide the opportunity for running, cycling, taking a walk, playing football/ rugby/rounders and there are at least two organised 'work outs' each week. There are good options for lunch out - country pubs, farm shop, garden centre and The Mall Cribbs Causeway is only a five-minute drive away. We have plenty of car parking spaces and a bike shed and showers are available for cyclists/runners. What can you expect? Inspired and motivated colleagues. A good team, office and employer. A genuine opportunity to create and to be recognised and rewarded. The remuneration package will include a competitive salary and employer pension contribution, 25 days annual leave (with the option to buy/sell up to five days), well-being bonus and a wide variety of flexible benefits. There are also little things like a paid day off for good causes and free fresh fruit in every office.
