About the Role
Tetra Tech is a leading global provider of consulting and engineering services. Our Groundwater & Geothermal Team, part of a wider geo-environmental and mining business, delivers projects for public and private sector clients across the UK and Ireland. Our work spans water, energy, infrastructure, defence, environmental management and property sectors.

You will work across a varied portfolio of groundwater and geothermal projects including groundwater resources, dewatering, contaminant hydrogeology, monitoring, borehole investigations, hydrogeological risk assessment and geothermal development. The appointment may be made at Consultant or Senior Hydrogeologist grade depending on experience. At Senior grade, you will demonstrate greater independence managing defined work packages or smaller projects, act as a day-to-day client contact and review the work of less experienced colleagues. Reporting to a Principal or Associate member of the Groundwater & Geothermal Team, you will contribute to the technical and commercial delivery of projects from initial scoping through field investigation, assessment and reporting. The role combines office-based technical work with site activities. You will collaborate with colleagues across the wider geo-environmental business and other disciplines, supporting projects throughout Great Britain and Ireland, as well as selected international assignments. You will be encouraged to develop project management, client relationship and leadership skills within a supportive, growing consultancy environment.

- Technical delivery: Plan, design, procure, supervise and manage groundwater and geothermal investigations, desk studies, technical assessments, conceptual site models and risk assessments.
- Field leadership: Carry out and supervise field activities such as groundwater monitoring, water features surveys, borehole drilling and installation, pumping tests, groundwater sampling and other hydrogeological testing.
- Analysis and reporting: Collate, quality-check, analyse and interpret groundwater, flow, water quality and site investigation data, producing clear reports, notes, drawings and presentations.
- Digital and regulatory support: Use GIS and digital tools, support abstraction, discharge, dewatering and other permit or licence applications.
- Client and project support: Help manage project set up, budgets, programmes, resources, subcontractors, change control and fee proposals, while supporting clients and junior colleagues. Contribute to tenders, fee proposals, bids and business development activities.
