As a Hydrologist at Natural Resources Wales (NRW) you will play a key role in supporting internal teams and external stakeholders with technical support on hydrology and water resource management matters.

You will work with real-world hydrological data, analysing and interpreting it to inform critical decisions around water abstraction licences, drought response, and post-flood event analysis. You will also contribute to the effective operation of the River Dee Regulation Scheme, helping to ensure sustainable water management in one of the UK’s most important catchments.

This is an exciting opportunity to build a strong foundation in operational hydrology and water resources management. You will be part of a supportive team, gaining hands-on experience and learning from senior specialists as you assist with more complex and high-profile projects.

We welcome applications from recent graduates with a degree in a relevant environmental or physical science subject (such as physical geography, environmental science, or hydrology). If you are eager to start a meaningful career that blends science, data, and environmental impact, this could be the perfect role for you.

Driving is essential to this role as this role involves field work and travel to remote sites, often alone, across North and Mid Wales that cannot be accessed using public transport. You must hold a full and current UK driving license.

As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to an NRW office within the place base / location above and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.

To make an informal enquiry about this role, please contact Rob Bissell at robert.bissell@cyfoethnaturiolcymru.gov.uk

Interviews will be face to face (details of location will be shared in advance)
