The Opportunity 

A Flood Risk and Drainage role offering exposure to diverse projects, flexible hybrid working, and a clear pathway into leadership.
 Full Job Description Who We’re Looking For We’re looking to connect with experienced Flood Risk and Drainage professionals who thrive in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment and enjoy playing a key role in guiding development projects through the planning process.

 What matters is that you bring a relevant degree alongside solid industry experience, with a strong grasp of Flood Risk Assessments, drainage strategy and design, and how these integrate within the wider planning and development process.
 Most importantly, you’ll be someone who takes pride in their work — curious, proactive, and motivated to keep learning and progressing.
 
The Role 

This is a varied and rewarding position where you’ll take ownership of flood risk and drainage inputs across a wide range of development projects. You’ll be supported by senior colleagues while working as part of a wider team of civil engineers, transport planners, and technicians.

This role is particularly suited to someone looking to grow over the long term, with a clear opportunity to step into leadership within the Flood Risk & Drainage team.
 
Why Join Us? 

You’ll be joining one of the region’s leading development planning and infrastructure consultancies, with a large and well-established team of engineers, planners, and technical specialists. The business has strong roots in the South West, particularly around Exeter.
 The location offers an exceptional quality of life — combining vibrant city living with easy access to national parks, coastline, and outdoor pursuits.
 The Exeter office is modern, well-connected, and designed to support collaboration, with excellent accessibility by foot, bike, public transport, and road. Alongside this, the company fully embraces hybrid working, allowing you to balance office, home, and site-based work.
 As a partnership business, success is shared — all employees benefit from a quarterly profit-related bonus, a genuinely rare offering in the sector.
