Opportunity for a Graduate Flood Risk & Drainage Consultant to join our growing Flood Risk team, based in Almondsbury (BS32 4DF).
Our highly specialist and experienced team helps clients to unlock development potential by appraising, managing and reducing flood risk.
Our application of cutting-edge FMP/TUFLOW modelling technology in combination with a range of geographic information system (GIS) tools enables us to significantly refine site-specific flood zones. It also helps ensure we can manage and mitigate impacts further afield.
The early engagement of our team in the development process is the key to success. Through the application of these modelling techniques, we work with developers to tackle flood risk issues and explore the implications and costs of proposed mitigation measures. This is critical to ensure development is appropriate to the site and to maximise the likelihood of approval.

- Self-motivated team player with good people skills
- Strong communication, analysis, technical design and drawing skills
- Someone ambitious, who believes in our values and wishes to be part of Hydrock and our success
