Environmental Practitioner Apprenticeship

The Team

You would be based within our Hydrology & Hydrogeology team working mainly on projects related to groundwater, surface water, water resources and flooding in the UK and Ireland. The types of projects we work on include Environmental Impact Assessments, hydrogeological impact and risk assessments, water resources and water balance studies, permitting and licensing, and feasibility studies. There would be opportunities to work with other teams in our multidisciplinary consultancy in fields such as Ecology, Soil Science, Land Quality and Geotechnical Engineering.

• Data management, quality assurance, and interpretation, including the use of specialist software and GIS
• Contributing to written reports and other project deliverables
• Upholding our teams' health and safety culture

The Environmental Science (Practitioner) degree apprenticeship is delivered by Keele University through a hybrid on-site/distance learning model. It covers a wide range of environmental science, geoscience and environmental business topics that are closely aligned with the services we provide to our clients.
