Senior Environmental Water Quality Consultant; Modelling

Overview

You will work within a core of scientific and engineering specialists, supporting clients primarily across the water sector as well as the energy and infrastructure sectors. Together, you will identify pollution sources, pathways and receptors and develop solutions for both natural and urban catchments, across estuarine, marine and coastal environments. No two projects are the same, and that variety is something the team genuinely values.

Day to day, you will deliver technically sound quantitative models to support wider project delivery, author and review evidence‑led technical reports, and provide timely input to multidisciplinary programmes of work. You will build and maintain client relationships, contribute to the continuous development of our water quality services, and play an active role in mentoring junior colleagues and strengthening connections across disciplines.

The models you build and the reports you produce will directly inform decisions that shape the health of rivers, estuaries and coastlines across the UK. Your work will help clients and communities achieve environmental outcomes that are both sustainable and efficient, contributing to a water environment that is cleaner, more resilient and better understood.
