The role involves fieldwork such as borehole drilling supervision, pumping test oversight, and environmental monitoring. You will develop skills in groundwater exploration, impact assessments, and mitigation recommendations while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams on major projects like HS2.

Your responsibilities will include site data collection and supervision, data collation and analysis using specialist software such as AquiferWin32, desk study evaluations, preparation of graphical and GIS deliverables, and contributing to business development and innovation. You will gain valuable experience through a blend of fieldwork, data interpretation, and report writing, supported by a structured graduate development programme.
