In this role you will build and evolve hydraulic and hydrological models that inform major infrastructure investments in drainage networks, pumping stations and flood risk assets. You’ll shepherd projects from survey through funding, construction and delivery, gaining visibility and real influence on outcomes. The work directly supports flood resilience for communities while aligning with a long-term infrastructure programme. You’ll collaborate with engineers and operations to ensure modelling informs decisions with lasting impact.
