Senior Flood Risk & Drainage Consultant Fully Remote (UK) £45,000 £55,000+ depending on experience Permanent Reports to: Director / Principal About the company Our client is an independent specialist consultancy working in UK flood risk, water and environment. They're small enough that every consultant has visible impact, and their work spans residential developments to nationally significant infrastructure. Their reputation is built on rigorous technical analysis, careful problem-solving, and unlocking development potential on sites where flood risk is a central planning consideration. Why this company? Why Now? They're growing not for the sake of headcount, but because their project pipeline demands it. Recent work across complex development sites, public sector flood defence schemes and international commissions means they're adding another senior consultant to the team. Above all, they're looking for someone who wants to come in and drive their own career not wait for it. What sets them apart Niche focus, national impact. Water, flood risk and environment are the entire business not a service line bolted onto something larger. Your name on the work. Senior consultants here build direct client relationships, present findings to planning committees, and become a recognised face in the industry. Innovation is embedded. They develop proprietary tools like FloodMetric, adopt current modelling techniques, and actively invest in technology. If you have an idea that improves how they work, you'll be heard. Genuine flexibility. Fully remote with truly flexible hours. Their team spans the UK and they care about deliverables, not presenteeism. Career progression you can see. In a team of this size your contribution is visible from day one. Principal and leadership pathways are open to those who demonstrate the capability and they'll actively support you through chartership, CPD and the company Academy. The Role As a Senior Flood Risk & Drainage Consultant, you'll manage, coordinate and deliver Flood Risk Assessments and Drainage Strategies for a range of clients from private developers working through complex EA flood zones to local authorities seeking robust technical evidence. You'll lead on technically demanding projects, direct junior team members, and think independently about how best to approach the brief. Day-to-Day Responsibilities Lead the production and technical review of Flood Risk Assessments and Surface Water Drainage Strategies, ensuring compliance with NPPF, TAN15 and/or NPF4 as appropriate. Interpret EA, NRW, SEPA, LLFA and third-party datasets to develop evidence-based flood risk conclusions and identify practical solutions for clients. Where appropriate, develop the technical case for revised flood zone designations through detailed modelling, topographic analysis and engagement with regulators.

Senior Flood Risk & Drainage Consultant Fully Remote (UK) £45,000 £55,000+ depending on experience Permanent Reports to: Director / Principal About the company Our client is an independent specialist consultancy working in UK flood risk, water and environment. They're small enough that every consultant has visible impact, and their work spans residential developments to nationally significant infrastructure. Their reputation is built on rigorous technical analysis, careful problem-solving, and unlocking development potential on sites where flood risk is a central planning consideration. Why this company? Why Now? They're growing not for the sake of headcount, but because their project pipeline demands it. Recent work across complex development sites, public sector flood defence schemes and international commissions means they're adding another senior consultant to the team. Above all, they're looking for someone who wants to come in and drive their own career not wait for it. What sets them apart Niche focus, national impact. Water, flood risk and environment are the entire business not a service line bolted onto something larger. Your name on the work. Senior consultants here build direct client relationships, present findings to planning committees, and become a recognised face in the industry. Innovation is embedded. They develop proprietary tools like FloodMetric, adopt current modelling techniques, and actively invest in technology. If you have an idea that improves how they work, you'll be heard. Genuine flexibility. Fully remote with truly flexible hours. Their team spans the UK and they care about deliverables, not presenteeism. Career progression you can see. In a team of this size your contribution is visible from day one.
