Hybrid working available
Salary: 42,000 to 58,000 plus benefits
New year, new job. Are you a Senior Hydrologist looking to step into a role where your technical judgement genuinely shapes outcomes rather than getting lost in layers of sign-off? This is an opportunity to join a leading environmental consultancy where your expertise is visible, valued and trusted.
You will be based from the Wigan office, working closely with a regional water and environmental team while contributing to projects across the North West and wider UK. The role spans flood risk, drainage and water resources work for both public and private sector clients, supporting developments wherever they are located while remaining anchored to a flexible hybrid working arrangement.

As a Senior Hydrologist, you will lead technical delivery while supporting team development and project performance.
Key responsibilities include:
Leading Flood Risk Assessments, SuDS strategies and hydrological modelling
Producing high-quality technical reports for planning and development projects
Supporting projects from feasibility through to detailed design and delivery
Liaising with clients, local authorities and statutory bodies
Ensuring solutions are practical, compliant and cost-effective
Mentoring junior engineers and sharing technical expertise
Keeping up to date with legislation, guidance and best practice
About you
This role suits a capable Senior Hydrologist ready to progress.
You will ideally have:
A degree in Hydrogeology, Civil Engineering or a related discipline
3 to 5 years' professional experience in flood risk and drainage
Chartered status or progression toward it
Experience using FEH, WinFAP FEH, Flood Modeller, TuFLOW or HEC-RAS
Strong communication, project management and mentoring skills
Eligibility to Apply
Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available.
