Associate Flood Modeller Bristol An established, global Engineering and Environmental Consultancy is looking to bring in an Associate-level Flood Modeller to strengthen their growing water and flood risk team in Bristol. With a strong and varied pipeline across both public and private sector clients, this is a key role within a team delivering complex, high-impact flood risk and hydraulic modelling projects across the UK. This position offers more than a typical modelling role. Sitting just below senior leadership, the successful individual will act as a key support to the team lead, taking on day-to-day responsibility for technical delivery, team coordination and project oversight. It's very much a step-up opportunity for someone ready to move beyond pure modelling into a broader leadership position, with a clear pathway into more senior responsibilities over time. The role will see you providing technical leadership across a wide range of flood modelling projects, overseeing the development, execution and review of hydraulic and hydrological models to ensure outputs meet the highest quality standards and regulatory requirements. You'll be guiding projects from early concept through to submission, working closely with clients and ensuring alignment with Environment Agency standards and UK best practice. Technically, you'll remain hands-on where needed, leading and reviewing complex models using software such as Flood Modeller, TUFLOW, ESTRY and InfoWorks ICM. You'll apply FEH methodologies, rainfall-runoff modelling and flood frequency analysis, while also interpreting outputs and translating them into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical audiences. A key part of the role will be quality assurance and governance. You'll be responsible for reviewing and signing off models, data inputs and reports, implementing robust QA/QC processes and ensuring consistency and auditability across all modelling work. This is a role for someone confident in their technical ability and comfortable taking ownership of final outputs. Alongside technical delivery, there's a strong leadership element. You'll be mentoring and supporting junior and mid-level modellers, helping to develop capability within the team while also assisting with workload management and day-to-day team coordination. You'll play an important role in easing pressure on senior leadership, helping to keep projects moving and standards high. There is also an opportunity to get involved in business development activities. Supporting bid preparation, contributing to proposals and helping to shape future workstreams will form part of the role, making it well-suited to someone looking to broaden their experience beyond delivery into the commercial side of Consultancy work. This is a position where your impact will be visible. You'll help shape flood risk strategies that protect communities and infrastructure, while also playing a key role in strengthening the team's technical capability and supporting its continued growth. They're looking for someone degree-qualified in a relevant discipline, with strong experience in flood modelling and a background in leading or checking technical delivery. Proven experience using industry-standard software and carrying out QA and sign-off of models is essential. A solid understanding of UK policy and regulatory requirements is expected, along with the ability to mentor others and manage multiple projects effectively. Chartered status (CIWEM or similar) would be advantageous but is not essential. The role offers a flexible and supportive working environment, with hybrid working as standard and a good balance between office collaboration and home working. Their city centre Bristol office is well connected, and there will be occasional travel for site visits and client meetings. Flexible working patterns are supported to help balance project demands with personal commitments. For more information about this role, please contact Sam at Calibre or click apply. Calibre Search promote equality in the workplace and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified candidates regardless of their sex, race, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age. We act as both an employment agency and employment business.

Role: QA Lead Location: Manchester Working arrangement: hybrid - 2 days a week in the office Salary: up to £75k About the role This is a role for someone who cares about building reliable software and wants to shape how quality is handled across an entire platform. You will take ownership of how testing is approached across a complex product set, from core systems to AI-driven features. The focus is on making quality part of everyday development, not something checked at the end. You will still be hands-on. That means working with automation, exploring edge cases, supporting releases, and helping teams understand where risks sit and how to reduce them. You will also guide how AI-based features are tested in a way that is practical and safe. You will work closely with engineers, product managers, and platform teams to make sure releases are steady, predictable, and based on clear evidence. What you will do Set the direction for testing across the platform, from planning through to production monitoring Build and improve automated test coverage using tools such as C#, xUnit, Selenium and Playwright Support teams with test design, risk awareness, and release readiness Put in place clear processes for defect handling and release validation Help teams test both traditional systems and AI-driven features in a consistent way What we are looking for You are someone who understands software quality in practice, not just in theory. You have worked with automation and know where it adds value and where it does not. You are comfortable getting into the detail when needed, but also able to step back and improve how teams work overall. You can work with engineers as a peer, guiding rather than directing. You are able to explain trade-offs clearly and make decisions based on risk and impact. Experience with AI-based systems is useful, but what matters more is your approach to testing complex and less predictable behaviour. What you can expect You will have the space to shape how quality is done, not just maintain what is already there. The work will be varied, covering both established systems and newer AI features. The team environment is collaborative, with a focus on solving problems and improving how things are done over time. If you are looking for a role where you can influence how software is built and released, while staying close to the technical work, this is worth exploring. We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background.
