About the Role
Graduates in our Hydrogeology team will work in a multi-disciplinary office, preparing hydrogeological assessments, models and designs in coordination with expert hydrogeologists for projects across a wide range of markets. You will provide input to both multi-disciplinary and groundwater-specific projects covering groundwater resources and supply, groundwater control and management, contamination and geothermal engineering in the UK and internationally. Working alongside experts from other disciplines, you will help deliver effective and professional services for a variety of high-profile clients. With support, you will have opportunities to work on projects across the UK and overseas from time to time.

Key responsibilities include:
- Geological, hydrogeological and geotechnical desk studies, site assessments and development of conceptual ground models
- Planning and interpretation of ground investigations including drilling, trial pitting, rock coring, geological logging, in situ testing and groundwater monitoring
- Groundwater resource and supply investigations including borehole feasibility assessments, borehole design and performance evaluation
- Hydrogeological investigations including pumping tests, groundwater monitoring programmes and interpretation of groundwater data
- Groundwater flow, contaminant transport and geotechnical modelling to support engineering design, resource assessment and risk evaluation
- Preparation of technical reports, factual and interpretative ground investigation reports, hydrogeological assessments and environmental documentation
- Geological and hydrogeological input to Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), Environmental Statements and regulatory submissions
- Assessment of potential impacts of developments on ground conditions, groundwater resources and groundwater-dependent receptors, including identification of mitigation measures
- Working closely with specialists from other disciplines to develop integrated and sustainable engineering solutions
- Attending project meetings and communicating with colleagues, project partners, contractors, regulators and clients
