This position is open for our Birmingham, Bristol, Derby, Epsom, Glasgow, London, Oxford, Peterborough and Warrington/Manchester offices but we can be flexible with location.
Do you have the ambition, enthusiasm and technical capability to work with us as a senior or principal groundwater modeller within the water resources sector? We are looking for someone to lead groundwater modelling projects in our groundwater resources team within our successful Water Management Consultancy business. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced candidate looking to progress their career in a vitally important industry with an internationally renowned company.
Our highly respected Water Management Consultancy team has been at the forefront of managing the challenges of providing resilient and sustainable water supplies for the future, undertaking projects including developing and using groundwater models to support strategic management and investment decisions. We are building on this success by growing our team to help deliver an increasingly wide range of exciting projects for water companies, other major water users and regulators. You will take an important role in growing our business through both winning and delivering work across our extensive client portfolio, and in so doing, enhancing our reputation for technical excellence.
As an experienced groundwater modelling specialist, you will have delivered groundwater modelling projects in the UK. You will work closely with our technical specialists who are based in our established teams in Birmingham, Epsom, Oxford and Peterborough. We have a friendly and approachable team with a strong reputation for delivering excellence with multiple clients.
AtkinsRéalis is one of the world’s most respected design, engineering and project management consultancies, with over 35,000 employees worldwide. At AtkinsRéalis, we offer more than just a job. We offer an opportunity to make a difference and shape the world to benefit future generations and the natural environment.
As part of our Environment practice, the Water Management Consultancy business operates at the interface between people and the water environment, tackling problems around water, its habitats and future change. We provide a unique blend of skills across many technical areas, and a diverse team of passionate, intelligent, digitally-minded, capable, and innovative staff. We enjoy working collaboratively delivering projects that bring about real change and make a difference to the environment and society. We want to ensure that our staff can develop their career working on the most interesting and innovative range of projects.
Responsibilities:
Joining a well-established and successful team, you will work with our technical leads in winning, delivering and managing our portfolio of groundwater modelling projects and developing trusted client relationships. You will champion high standards of performance, and influence project development. As an experienced modeller you will undertake your own work to an excellent standard, leading on projects and bids as appropriate, defining and delivering outputs for a range of projects including complex problem solving. Collaborative and supportive team work is vital to our success and you will work closely with the groundwater resources team and mentor and support more junior staff, including providing training on aspects of modelling.
Whilst this role is focused on groundwater modelling you will be expected to work more broadly than this across other hydrogeological assessments and water resources modelling applications. You will work as part of the team delivering a range of projects relating to groundwater and surface water supply, strategic planning, resource optimisation and environmental assessment.
Requirements:
With a degree in science, engineering or mathematics and a post-graduate qualification in hydrogeology or a related subject, you are likely to be chartered through a relevant professional body. You will have comprehensive knowledge in all aspects of groundwater modelling for water resources, including building, developing and updating conceptual and numerical models at a regional scale and model use in assessment of abstraction impacts on the environment for water companies and regulators. You should have experience of developing or using UK regional groundwater models. Your wider experience should include water resources hydrogeology and hydrology, for example WINEP investigations (low flow studies, WFD no deterioration), signal and pumping tests, borehole design, groundwater flooding or water resource planning. You will have a good understanding of UK hydrogeology and of the environmental and regulatory framework of UK water management.
You will be able to demonstrate expertise using MODFLOW (ideally including MODFLOW6) and other groundwater flow models, as well as recharge models such as 4R or SWAc. An ability to code in Python, R, Fortran, VBA or similar, is desirable, as are skills in GIS. Similarly, an ability to develop new and innovative approaches is encouraged, to help us continue to develop our digital tools. You will be enthusiastic to continue to develop your skills and keep abreast of new and emerging technologies.
You will have experience leading projects through the project life-cycle of problem definition, data collection, analysis (including modelling and model application), interpretation of results and drawing succinct conclusions and recommendations.
You will be highly motivated and proactive and have excellent numerical, analytical, report-writing and presentational skills and an eye for detail. You will enjoy solving challenging water resources problems within a high achieving team environment. Your ability to communicate effectively at all levels will suit collaborative working and the building of high quality client relationships.
You will have valid full UK driving licence.
