Our UK office, based in Cardiff (approximately 150 people) works closely with colleagues across the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia – you’ll regularly collaborate with experts around the world.
About the Opportunity:
We’re looking for a consultant (or someone ready for that next step) to join our UK Water Group as a Surface Water Specialist. You will:
- Contribute to hydrological and hydraulic assessments (rainfall–runoff, flood, drainage, stormwater).
- Own the surface water components of multidisciplinary project studies.
- Support civil design teams to deliver robust, sustainable and cost-effective water solutions.
- Analyse data, work with hydrological/hydraulic models, and produce clear technical reports.
- Represent SRK in client meetings, workshops and site visits in the UK and overseas.
There will be opportunities for international travel, including visits to mining and industrial sites.
About you - Essential:
- Degree in Civil/Environmental Engineering, Water Resources, Hydrology or related discipline.
- Exposure to surface water/hydrology (e.g. flood or drainage assessments, stormwater or catchment planning, climate / climate change analysis).
- Strong analytical skills and comfortable working with data and models.
- Clear communicator with good technical writing skills.
- Some coding/scripting (e.g. Python, R) and an interest in AI/automation.
Desirable but not essential:
- Experience with tools like HECHMS, HECRAS or similar.
- Hydraulic infrastructure design experience.
- Mining experience and/or a second language.
If you don’t tick every box but have solid surface water / hydrology skills and are keen to learn, we’d still like to hear from you.
Why join SRK?
- Employee owned, non-hierarchical culture with real responsibility early on.
- Diverse, international project portfolio and highly experienced colleagues.
- Competitive salary, profit related bonus, private healthcare.
- Option to buy shares in SRK UK and SRK Global.
- Strong support for professional registration, training, innovation and conferences.
