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.

Interpret EA, NRW, SEPA, LLFA and third-party datasets to develop evidence-based flood risk conclusions and identify practical solutions for clients.

Support feasibility studies at the early stages of development, identifying constraints and the routes through them. Manage multiple concurrent projects to programme, budget and quality expectations. Develop and maintain client and stakeholder relationships as a trusted technical advisor. Mentor and review the work of junior consultants and graduates, supporting their technical development. Support business development through fee proposals, scope development and client presentations. Contribute to the continuous improvement of internal tools, templates and technical processes. About You They're looking for a consultant who combines technical depth with the commercial awareness to understand what the data means for a client's project and who's ready to take ownership of their own development rather than wait to be promoted. Essential A minimum of 6 years' UK consultancy experience in flood risk, with at least 1 year at senior level. Working knowledge of NPPF and associated planning practice guidance; familiarity with TAN15 and/or NPF4 is an advantage. Strong technical report writing clear, concise and well-reasoned.

What They Offer Salary - £45,000 £55,000+, depending on experience. Pension - Employer-matched pension via salary sacrifice. Health insurance - Provided following successful probation. Working pattern - Fully remote with genuine flexible hours. CPD & development - Support through the company Academy, external courses, conferences and networking events.
