About the Role
What if you could shape a career as unique as you? At WSP, you can always find opportunities to grow and do what matters to you. Make the most of our global reach to discover new challenges and chances to work with diverse, talented individuals who will help you expand your horizons. WSP are looking for Hydrologists and Water Resources Hydrologists at all levels from Senior Consultant to Associate Director to join our Sustainable Water Management Consulting team. Focusing on the delivery of a wide range of national infrastructure and flood risk management projects, you will lead hydrological contributions for our external and internal clients. Based on your personal interests and strengths, you might find yourself contributing to our national fluvial and pluvial modelling team to provide flood modelling services that support a wide range of projects, including Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) studies and strategic infrastructure initiatives across the energy, transport, government, and water sectors. You may also be involved in delivering hydrology and water resources management services to UK water companies, aiding in the development of water resource and drought plans, new water supply assets, and supporting the Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP). Additionally, water resource assessments for the industrial and energy sectors, contributing to climate resilience and adaptation planning, form part of the role. We offer a dynamic but supportive environment for motivated and talented individuals looking to fulfil their potential. We recognise that our people are central to our success as a business and we are ready to invest in you! Although primarily a UK based role, you will also be expected to work collaboratively with teams across WSP’s global business.

Requirements

Experience

Commercial awareness with experience of identifying and developing business opportunities as well as preparing winning proposals. A sound understanding of client needs, their opportunities and challenges, with a track record of leading and winning work.

About you
Excellent report-writing, technical review, numerical and analytical skills, with an eye for detail and a passion for solving challenging hydrological problems. Motivated and talented individual seeking to grow and make an impact. Ability to work collaboratively across global teams.
