Description
This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic, ambitious individual who has just graduated in engineering or science with a coastal emphasis, looking for a position where they can add value with their skills while learning about coastal resilience consultancy. Ideally they have a MSc / MEng degree but we will also consider BSc / BEng. We are looking for people with a strong technical interest in coastal processes and / or engineering, who also have a broader perspective of wanting to enhance society and help clients address their challenges and achieve their ambitions on the coast.
About our Resilience Team:
The team are a dynamic, innovative, and dedicated group that are keen to help our clients achieve the best possible outcomes. As a company, we’re committed to continually developing and improving our methods and technology and also our staff.
The team is made up of Coastal Engineers, Scientists and Consultants who boast a wealth of experience having worked in consultancy for many years. Our team of experts deliver Flood and Coastal strategies and solutions for public clients but also for landowners, businesses and communities throughout the UK and worldwide. In the UK we are a niche player; on the one hand we focus on particular local areas, on the other hand we work nationally where it concerns our policy consultancy, research and innovative solutions. The team rarely does standard repeat work: we get involved in the more complex and challenging cases and like to pioneer new approaches, bringing clients and stakeholders along and focus on supporting their investment decisions. We work closely with our colleagues in the Netherlands and around the world, and have a strong track record of successfully introducing tried and tested water innovations from the Netherlands to the UK.
About the Role:
You will be part of an established but growing UK team. An important part of your role will be to provide technical input into projects and proposals, starting with your existing technical expertise, working with other experts but also extending the breadth of your expertise. As soon as you are ready, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of projects (technical and commercial), lead on technical topics and get involved directly with clients. There is plenty of opportunity to take an active role in innovation and tool development (via our Practices), and over time also in business development (via our Sectors).
Main Work Areas:
What we can offer you:
Ambitious. Exciting. Lively. Collaborative. Dynamic. That’s how our colleagues describe our company. Want to contribute to enhancing society with your expertise? Be part of an open network where you’re connected with the brightest and smartest people and technologies? Join us!
You can look forward to growing your career in a dynamic workplace with development opportunities and support on your career path. We have flexible working models to ensure a balance of family and working life.
