Graduate Water Modeller

Launch your career in wastewater modelling with Tetra Tech

Join Tetra Tech’s Water Consultancy team across the UK and support a wide range of wastewater modelling, data analysis and engineering projects, from local investigations to multi-million-pound infrastructure schemes. You will handle and interpret large datasets, develop and maintain hydraulic and statistical models, produce factual and interpretative reports, and contribute to client and stakeholder engagement. Working as part of multidisciplinary project teams, you will collaborate with experienced engineers and modellers, with opportunities for site surveys and field data collection.

In the short term, you will help deliver live projects by producing high-quality data outputs and model results. Over time, you will take on greater responsibility for smaller project tasks, model development and client communication, while building your professional skills through relevant training. Longer term, this role offers clear pathways to chartership and senior technical positions, with exposure to significant regional and national programmes that will support your growth.

  – Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to prepare concise technical reports and explain findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Software and GIS
  – Confident use of Excel and familiarity with GIS software such as QGIS or ArcGIS; experience with modelling tools or scripting would be advantageous.
• Teamwork and development
  – A collaborative, adaptable approach with a willingness to learn and develop professionally, including progress towards training and chartership.

Expected: A degree in Civil Engineering, Geography or a closely related discipline, alongside good communication and basic computing skills.
