About the Role
Join WSP's UK and Ireland Mine Water team as a Hydrologist or Water Resource Engineer, contributing to a variety of projects primarily within the mining sector, with opportunities to work across infrastructure, manufacturing, and land development. You will be involved in environmental assessments, permitting, engineering design, ESG considerations, and water stewardship. Key responsibilities include conducting climate, hydrological, and hydraulic assessments; developing water management plans; performing water balance and climate change modelling; designing water management infrastructure; and conducting dam break analyses and consequence classification assessments.

Collaboration with colleagues and support for senior staff to meet project goals is essential, alongside assisting in client relationship development and business growth. A strong safety-first attitude aligned with WSP's health and safety culture is expected.
