Bristol Infrastructure Full Time, Part Time, Permanent

We are seeking an Associate/Principal Hydrologist to join our Environmental Engineering team. While we currently have team members based in Cirencester, Bristol, London, Birmingham, Solent and Cambridge, we will consider any Pegasus office for the right candidate. This role will play an important part in supporting our future growth plans.

We are looking for a competent and experienced hydrologist with a solid foundation knowledge in surface water and flood management alongside a specialism within one or multiple of:

  • Water Quality and the Water Framework Directive
  • Water Resources and Nutrient Neutrality
  • Groundwater and Hydrogeology
  • Hydrology and hydraulic modelling
  • Restoration and Nature Based Solutions

What You Will Do

In this role, you will:

  • Lead and deliver environmental engineering projects across a range of sectors, including residential, renewables and infrastructure.
  • Oversee the production of technical reports, calculations and design drawings.
  • Provide project management, technical leadership, mentorship and quality assurance to the wider team.
  • Support the Director with team growth, marketing and business development, with the Associate grade taking on additional responsibility for income generation.
  • Engage in active external communication, including stakeholder engagement and client correspondence.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
