Do you have experience in hydrology or flood modelling and want to work on projects that directly protect communities, land, and critical infrastructure from flooding?
Are you looking for a technically varied role where you will work across multiple catchments, helping to define solutions, improve drainage systems, and shape flood protection strategies?
This organisation manages and improves drainage and water level infrastructure across a large consortium area. Their work includes supporting flood defence schemes, improving pumping station performance, assessing catchment behaviour, and ensuring new developments do not negatively impact existing drainage systems.
The Flood Risk & Modelling Analyst plays a key role in assessing catchments, modelling water behaviour, and identifying improvements that enhance flood resilience. The role supports a wide range of projects including pumping station refurbishments, flood protection initiatives for farmers and landowners, and technical assessments of large-scale developments to ensure drainage systems can accommodate additional discharge.
You will work across multiple catchments, analysing hydrological inputs and modelling flood scenarios to help determine the best engineering and operational solutions. The work is highly varied, ranging from assessing existing assets and supporting capital programmes to advising on the impact of new developments such as major housing or commercial projects within the catchment.
Unlike many consultancy modelling roles, this position offers the chance to work across multiple catchments, helping to shape real flood protection solutions that safeguard communities, farmland and critical infrastructure.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking for a technically interesting role where your work will directly influence how flood risk is managed and infrastructure is improved across the region.
The role:
*Undertake hydrological and hydraulic modelling to assess catchment behaviour and identify flood risk management solutions.
*Support feasibility studies, optioneering and preliminary designs for drainage and flood risk management infrastructure.
*Assist in preparing outline business cases for government funding and flood defence projects.
*Assess the impact of new developments on drainage systems and determine acceptable discharge rates.
*Support pumping station refurbishment and infrastructure improvement projects through modelling and technical analysis.
*Attend site visits to carry out surveys and monitor works associated with flood risk management schemes.
*Provide technical advice to colleagues, contractors, partner organisations and members of the public.
*Support the development and delivery of flood risk management projects across multiple catchments.
The person:
*Degree in Environmental Science, Engineering or a related discipline with hydrology or hydraulic modelling content.
*Experience using flood modelling software such as HEC-RAS, Flood Modeller, TUFLOW, InfoWorks ICM or MIKE Flood.
*Experience using GIS software such as ArcGIS, QGIS or Global Mapper.
*Strong analytical and technical report writing skills.
*Ability to manage multiple technical tasks and prioritise workloads effectively.
*Excellent communication skills and the ability to work with contractors, stakeholders and multidisciplinary teams.
*Full UK driving licence and willingness to attend sites when required.
