All members of our team have opportunities for personal development on competitive salaries and wider benefits, with additional tax-free bonus linked to profit share.

The role will initially focus on further development of our Flood Estimation Handbook (FEH) flood modelling software products ReFH 2 and WINFAP 5 but will also encompass Qube, our online water resource modelling platform. The FEH software provide national design standard methods for flood estimation and are an integral part of our mission to provide cost effective, sustainable, tools and methods for application throughout the UK. The continued development of methods, in collaboration with the FEH team at UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH), plays a valuable role in improving our understanding and modelling of flooding within the UK as we move towards an uncertain climatically challenging future.
