Have you ever considered joining a multidisciplinary team where you can work in a diverse, welcoming, and fun environment on amazing projects across the UK and globally?

Together, we will identify pollution sources, pathways, and impacts on sensitive receptors and develop engineered and nature-based solutions.
The role encompasses scoping, data collection, development, execution, and presentation of multidimensional environmental water quality models. These models simulate the behaviour of reservoirs, lakes (Loughs and Lochs), transitional, and coastal waters.
This position offers the right person a genuine opportunity to improve our environments and communities. We seek driven individuals who think differently and love to challenge conventional thinking. Our expanding project portfolio identifies water quality solutions that meet community needs, including reducing carbon and improving biodiversity.
