Environmental Hydrologist Role

We are seeking a skilled Environmental Hydrologist to join our dynamic team in Ireland.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a strong technical background in hydrology and a passion for solving real-world water resource and environmental challenges.

The successful candidate will play a key role in the assessment, management, and modelling of surface water and groundwater systems in support of infrastructure, environmental, and development projects across Ireland.

The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Hydrology, Environmental Science, Civil Engineering, or related field.

The requirements include:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Hydrology, Environmental Science, Civil Engineering, or related field.
  • Minimum of 3 years' experience in environmental or engineering hydrology.
  • Proficiency in hydrological modelling software and GIS (ArcGIS or QGIS).
  • Strong analytical, numerical, and report writing skills.
  • Understanding of Irish water legislation, flood risk guidelines (OPW CFRAM, FRM), and EPA methodologies.
  • Full clean driving licence and willingness to undertake fieldwork.
  • Chartered status (or working towards) with CIWEM, IEI, or equivalent.

The job involves conducting hydrological and hydrogeological assessments for environmental impact assessments (EIAs), flood risk assessments (FRAs), and water resource projects. The successful candidate will also develop and calibrate hydrological models using tools such as HEC-HMS, SWMM, Infoworks ICM, or MIKE SHE.

Analyzing rainfall-runoff data, groundwater levels, and flow monitoring data is also part of the job. Additionally, the candidate will support climate resilience planning and nature-based solutions through hydrological input.

The role requires liaising with project teams including engineers, planners, ecologists, and other environmental professionals. Preparing technical reports, planning documentation, and client presentations is also essential.

Ensure compliance with Irish and EU environmental regulations, planning requirements, and water framework directives. Represent the company in client meetings, regulatory agency consultations, and stakeholder engagements. Contribute to business development through proposal writing and tender submissions.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to work on high-profile infrastructure projects and contribute to the development of innovative solutions to address Ireland's water resource challenges.
