Your impact
Working closely with the Head of Discipline of Hydrogeology to manage delivery of water‑resource and low‑flow studies aligned to our clients’ WINEP commitments, you will play a key part in our UK Water Catchment Management & Maritime capability team. You will be involved in the technical delivery of a wide scope of geological and hydrogeological projects, providing functional expertise to water‑resource management and environmental impact assessments.
Alongside this, you will provide specialist hydrogeological support in reviewing hydrogeological datasets, identifying groundwater‑surface‑water interaction, formulating conceptual site models, designing and implementing groundwater monitoring schemes, interrogating groundwater models, designing and analysing signal tests, and assessing the impact of abstraction and options for meeting WINEP objectives.
