At Envireau Water, we are known for doing things differently. After all, 95% of our workstream comes from the private sector, and we have a longstanding reputation as the go-to water consultants for leading UK businesses.

We're one of 200 businesses that form part of the RSK Group, a leading integrated environmental, engineering, and technical services business. We benefit from a highly successful multinational corporation's backing while retaining operational autonomy and the power of our well-established brand.

To support our next growth phase, we're seeking Senior Hydrogeologists to join our Team in Melbourne, Derbyshire.

This is your chance to fast track your development, gain autonomy, and contribute to a consultancy consistently striving to improve its culture and performance. If you're passionate about hydrogeology and eager to be part of a thriving team, we want you to bring your expertise and enthusiasm to our bespoke consultancy.

With less reliance on framework agreements come more opportunities to expand your skillset technically and commercially. Day-to-day, we provide strategic regulatory negotiation, produce intricate groundwater assessments, design sustainable water management systems, and cutting-edge water supply solutions.

We love technically diverse projects with complex challenges, and we excel at finding new and innovative solutions. Our clients love working with us for our regulatory tenacity, collaborative approach, and aptitude for delivering results beyond other consultancies.

As a Senior Hydrogeologist, you will join a technically excellent, diverse, hardworking, and agile team of professionals, where your achievements are celebrated, and the development of your personal brand is encouraged.
