A Little More About Your Role

We are looking for a Senior Flood Risk and Drainage Consultant who has experience in the delivery of flood risk and consequence assessments and sustainable drainage strategy solutions to work collaboratively on technically complex projects for a range of clients. Working as part of our national team, the successful candidate will also be able to work seamlessly across other technical areas within the Sustainable Water Management team, including LLFA technical services, Water EIA input, permitting applications, drainage design, and SAB submissions in Wales (extending into England in due course).

Responsibilities

  • Carry out and supervise the completion of FCAs and FRAs for a variety of schemes
  • Provide technical input into sustainable drainage strategies and design for complex schemes
  • Oversee the preparation of feasibility studies and supporting drawings
  • Prepare successful SAB submissions with Welsh local authorities
  • Deliver Section 19 Flood Investigations
  • Provide technical oversight and training of junior consultants, ensuring high‑quality outputs
  • Support tendering and work‑winning activities of the team
  • Take leadership of certain project management activities, including financial and programme management
  • Be multi‑disciplinary and client‑facing, coordinating project meetings both internally and externally
  • Communicate and liaise effectively and efficiently with the project team (both the Sustainable Water Management team and the wider business)

Skills / Experience

  • Flood Risk and Consequence Assessments preparation in England and Wales, and experience in supporting skills such as flood risk modelling, flood risk strategy development, or Water EIA, at least part of which should have been in consultancy
  • Drainage Strategies and SAB submissions in Wales
  • Drainage design using AutoCAD and hydraulic modelling, using industry‑standard software (e.g. Causeway Flow/Microdrainage, InfoWorks)
  • Familiarity with industry‑standard GIS software (e.g. ArcGIS, QGIS, MapInfo)
  • Knowledge of the regulatory context for flood risk planning and sustainable drainage approvals in the UK
  • Technical inputs for planning and permitting for major infrastructure projects
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Some experience in supporting commercial aspects and project management

Qualifications

  • A degree in a relevant environmental, geographical, science or engineering discipline is essential
  • Actively working towards chartered status with IEng, C.WEM or CEng
