Flood Risk and Drainage Consultant

We are currently partnered with a a small but rapidly growing flood risk, water and environment business with an industry recognised leadership team as they look to bring on-board a Flood Risk and Drainage Consultant on a fully remote basis. This role has emerged due to continued success in their existing work and multiple recent project wins.

This consultancy acts on a fully remote basis with colleagues situated across the country, including London, Birmingham and Edinburgh - but don't worry, they still provide opportunities to socialise with colleagues throughout the year!

They do things differently to the larger consultancies. They're trying to break away from the traditional 9 to 5 and embrace a new way of working. They offer complete flexibility, providing you with the opportunity to set your own hours. They are also trialling unlimited annual leave (previous allowance 25 days) and look to their employees to shape the way they work.

The consultancy offers opportunities to get involved with a variety of projects, including both public and private sector work. Their current projects include flood defences, strategic infrastructure, and private developments.

You will become a key member of the existing consulting team, providing support in the delivery of these projects including the production of Flood Risk Assessments and drainage strategies. They offer in-house training to allow you to grow into a well-rounded Flood Risk Consultant and explore any specialisms you may be interested in.

​As your career progresses, you will be given opportunities to oversee and manage projects and clients.

The successful candidate will have an enthusiasm to develop their career in the water/environment sector. The consultancy is seeking someone that is hard-working, well-organised, motivated, enthusiastic, flexible. You will be able to work independently and as part of a distributed team and can communicate effectively both in writing and verbally with colleagues and clients alike.
