Description

Principal Hydrogeologist

Bristol

60,000 – 70,000

Are you a Principal Hydrogeologist looking for a role combining technical leadership, project responsibility and client management? This is an opportunity to join an established multidisciplinary consultancy in Bristol, leading hydrogeology and water environment projects across infrastructure, renewables, power, industrial and built environment sectors.

The Principal Hydrogeologist will provide technical and project leadership, working closely with clients and multidisciplinary teams while supporting the development of less experienced colleagues.

The Principal Hydrogeologist role will include:

Leading hydrogeological assessments, investigations and monitoring programmes

Preparing and reviewing EIA water chapters

Water environment assessments, abstraction licensing and groundwater permitting

Providing technical leadership, analysis and reporting

Managing client relationships and supporting proposals

Leading multidisciplinary project delivery

Mentoring and developing scientists and hydrogeologists

The Principal Hydrogeologist should have:

Substantial UK hydrogeology or water environment experience

A degree in Hydrogeology, Environmental Science, Geoscience or a related discipline

Strong hydrogeological assessment and water monitoring experience

Knowledge of UK water legislation and regulatory requirements

Strong technical reporting, client and communication skills

Chartered status or be working towards chartership

A driving licence permitting you to drive in the UK

GIS, analysis or modelling software experience would be advantageous rather than essential.

The Principal Hydrogeologist position offers 60,000 – 70,000, hybrid and flexible working, professional development, pension, private medical insurance and discretionary bonus.

If this Principal Hydrogeologist role feels close but not quite perfect, please do not be put off from applying. I specialise in Civil Engineering, Water and Flood Risk recruitment and may also be able to help with other suitable roles that are not currently advertised.

Penguin Recruitment is operating as a Recruitment Agency in respect to this position. For further information, please contact Andy Hopkins, with over 30 years' recruitment experience.
