Flood Risk & Hydraulic Modeller
Location: Lincolnshire | Working Arrangement: Hybrid Working
Salary: £43,929 - £48,456 + Local Government Pension Scheme + 9-Day Fortnight
About the Role
Most modellers never get to see whether their work actually made a difference. In this role, you will:
- Build hydraulic models that help shape major infrastructure investment decisions across critical drainage networks, pumping stations, and flood risk assets.
- Witness the same projects progress from survey and modelling through to funding approval, construction, and delivery.
- Gain a genuine understanding of how your modelling contributes to protecting homes, businesses, agricultural land, and critical infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Focus on hydraulic and hydrological modelling, supporting a significant ongoing programme of capital investment and asset refurbishment.
- Develop and build models that provide the technical evidence behind real engineering, operational, and investment decisions.
- Use topographical survey information to develop hydrology, assess catchment behavior, and understand how proposed interventions will impact water levels, drainage performance, and flood risk.
- Support major pumping station refurbishment projects, flood risk infrastructure improvements, funding applications, and long-term investment planning.
