Associate - Flood Risk & Drainage

Join to apply for the Associate – Flood Risk & Drainage role at Lucion

Water finds a way. We help manage it.

Because this role is hybrid and based across several regional offices, candidates from anywhere in the UK may be considered.

We’re looking for an Associate Consultant to join our Flood Risk & Drainage team. Someone technically sharp, commercially savvy, and quietly confident enough to lead projects without needing a megaphone. You’ll work across planning and transactional due diligence projects for public and private sector clients, shaping solutions that actually stand up in the real world.

• Ow enfant projects fromdeg inception to completion — including fee proposals and tenders — balancing technical depth with动力 sense
• Producing and overseeing Flood Risk Assessments, Drainage Strategies and Flood Scoping Reports for planning applications
• Supporting colleagues with conceptual drainage design, including SuDS, and reviewing drainage layouts
• Carrying out technical reviews of reports, drawings and calculations (details matter)
• Delivering Flood Risk Appraisals for investor and pension fund clients, assessing all sources of flooding and offering practical, commercially sound advice
• Providing tailored guidance to help clients navigate tricky flood risk and drainage challenges
• Getting involved in service and product development, including work in emerging areas such as nutrient neutrality and ESG
• Building strong working relationships with clients and collaborating across the wider Lucion Group
• Mentoring and line‑managing team members – helping them grow, not micromanaging them

• You have a growth mindset and enjoy solving problems
• You’re organized, adaptable, and comfortable working to deadlines
• You pick up new skills quickly and take ownership of your work
• You’re interested in developing new services and improving existing ones
• You’re positive about client engagement and work winning
• You value CPD and continuous learning
• You communicate clearly and enjoy working with people

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant subject (e.g. Geography), or equivalent experience
• 7+ years’ experience in flood risk and drainage consultancy
• Strong understanding of design standards, planning policy and regulatory processes
• Proven experience managing projects and liaising with clients and statutory consultees
• A strong sense of commercial awarenessınt
• Experience with Micro Drainage / Info Drainage or similar software (preferable)
• Experience using AutoCAD (preferable)
• Experience with QGIS or other GIS software
• Chartered status, or actively working towards it (desirable, not essential)
