About the Company
Our client is a major American environmental engineering consultancy with a strong reputation for solving complex water, wastewater and stormwater challenges. As part of their continued growth, they are expanding into the UK market and are seeking skilled Hydraulic Modellers to join their remote UK-based team.
This is an opportunity to work directly with two of the UK's leading experts in hydraulic modelling and to collaborate closely with US offices on high-profile international projects.
The Role
This is not a standard modelling position. You will contribute to major UK and US projects, applying innovative, data-driven approaches and helping to shape the next generation of modelling through automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop, verify and optimise hydraulic models using InfoWorks ICM
Undertake model builds, validation and optioneering to support project delivery
Apply programming and scripting (e.g. Ruby, VBA, R, Python) to improve model efficiency and automation
Collaborate with colleagues across the UK and USA to deliver integrated solutions
Contribute to innovation in data-driven modelling and process automation
Why This Role Stands Out
Remote-first role with occasional UK office visits
Opportunities to travel to the USA and collaborate with international teams
Exposure to major UK water company projects
High-profile project portfolio across the UK and US
Be part of a forward-thinking team pioneering AI, automation and machine learning in hydraulic modelling
About You
We are looking for motivated Hydraulic Modellers who are eager to grow and push technical boundaries.
Requirements:
3-8 years of experience in hydraulic modelling (consultancy or utility background)
Strong proficiency with InfoWorks ICM
Competence in one or more programming/scripting languages (Ruby, VBA, R, Python preferred)
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Strong communication and teamwork skills
