APPLY Job Description
We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Flood Risk Consultant to join the growing Water & Environment Team. This role is ideal for an experienced consultant looking to lead technical delivery, mentor colleagues, and play a key role in the strategic growth of a forward-thinking environmental consultancy.
You will lead hydraulic modelling and Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) across a diverse portfolio of projects, including property development, renewable energy, and aviation schemes. Projects span early strategy and feasibility through to planning submission and discharge of conditions, operating within consenting regimes such as Town and Country Planning and Development Consent Orders.
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.
