Role description:
As a Consultant you will be an integrated member of our UK Groundwater Advisory team, whose primary role is to support in the collection, collation and interpretation – including quantitative assessment and modelling - of hydrogeological data on a broad range of engineering, environmental and water resource projects.
Variety comes as standard and you will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects across our business, providing technical advice and assessment for our built environment projects to our work with water supply companies. Partnering with clients, you’ll build a deep understanding of the complex challenges they face, before applying your technical knowledge and experience to deliver the best solution. In addition, there will be opportunity to broaden your skills within our wider geo-environmental consultancy team including training relating to site investigation skills, land quality and engineering geology assessments.
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.
