As a Graduate Hydrogeologist, you will join our groundwater and geothermal business within the wider geo-environmental and mining unit.

The team works on high-profile frameworks and contracts, including water supply, remediation, borehole decommissioning and geothermal energy projects.
You will assist with the design, procurement, supervision and management of groundwater and geothermal investigations. Your work will include desktop studies, groundwater surveys, monitoring, testing and assessment, alongside accurate collection and analysis of site data to support modelling. You will also contribute to detailed factual and interpretative reports, helping clients assess and implement new water supply and geothermal energy systems.

Office attendance will vary depending on training, collaboration and project needs, with greater flexibility possible as your experience develops. The role involves travel across including occasional short periods away from home. A flexible approach to time management and a willingness to travel are therefore essential.
In alignment with the Equality Act 2010, we will make reasonable adjustments to support candidates and employees requiring additional arrangements. This could include adaptations to work schedules, training approaches, or the physical workspace.
