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 work with diverse, talented individuals who will help you expand your horizons. Are you ready for the next step in your career? Are you eager to develop and help deliver and grow our portfolio of high-profile projects solving groundwater challenges in the water resources, environmental and infrastructure sectors? We are seeking several talented, enthusiastic and committed mid-career hydrogeologists/modellers to support a range of projects undertaken by the Catchment Science team within our Sustainable Water Management Consulting group. Your work will be varied and challenging and is likely to include leading high impact groundwater modelling work, guiding the delivery of regional and catchment-scale groundwater studies that support regulatory, infrastructure and environmental clients.

You will take ownership of projects with responsibility for project management, financial control and quality assurance, allowing you to shape outcomes and build strong client relationships. You will also develop and mentor others, supporting the growth of junior colleagues with opportunities for people management responsibilities as your role progresses. Collaboration is key, working with hydrologists, environmental specialists, modellers and engineering teams to deliver integrated water resources solutions.

Your key responsibilities will include technical delivery of hydrogeology and water resources projects with emphasis on regional groundwater modelling, managing projects including financial oversight, change control and quality assurance, mentoring and supervising junior team members, defining scopes and approaches with the Hydrogeology and Groundwater Services Lead, producing high quality client and public facing deliverables that communicate complex data clearly, contributing to bid proposals and developing innovative solutions, working collaboratively across sectors and disciplines, and promoting a safety first culture in line with WSP policies.

Your Team
Our Catchment Science team works across a wide spectrum of services covering water resources and security, hydrology and hydraulics, water quality, hydroecology and hydrogeology. We provide high quality technical services and advice to a wide range of high-profile customers in the UK and overseas, including government departments and agencies, the water industry, and various industrial sectors such as power, transport, nuclear, mining, commercial and oil and gas. Demand for our skills has grown significantly during AMP7 and is forecast to increase further during AMP8, driven by extended frameworks for groundwater modelling support to the Environment Agency in East Anglia. We offer a supportive environment for motivated and talented individuals to fulfil their potential, recognising that our people are central to our success.

Experience
- Groundwater and water resources modelling to support water resource estimation, management and environmental impact assessment
- Strong understanding of UK hydrogeology and the environmental and regulatory framework of UK water management
- Proven project management skills with experience managing projects from start to finish
- Track record of leading and winning work with a sound understanding of client needs and challenges
- Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to engage and influence at all levels
- Strong commercial awareness including identifying and developing business opportunities and preparing winning proposals
- Excellent report writing, technical review, numerical and analytical skills with attention to detail and problem-solving ability in hydrogeological/hydrological contexts

About you
Enthusiastic, committed and motivated professional eager to take ownership of projects and mentor junior colleagues. You thrive in a collaborative multidisciplinary environment and are passionate about delivering high quality, innovative water resource solutions. You promote a safety-first culture and align with WSP’s values and policies.
