Dublin, Dublin, Ireland | Cork, Ireland | Galway, Galway, Ireland | Dundalk, Louth, Ireland
Overview
Ireland's rivers and watercourses are under pressure from decades of physical modification, arterial drainage, development and changing land use. Restoring them- their form, their function, their ecological status- is some of the most hands-on, technically varied environmental work you can do. And the demand for it is growing.
We're looking for a Lead Hydromorphologist or Geomorphologist to join our team in Ireland. You'll work at the front line of river restoration, channel creation, barrier removal, natural flood management and sediment dynamics- assessing the current condition of watercourses and designing practical proposals for their recovery. The work ranges from site-level field surveys to catchment-scale restoration strategies, and the clients span water companies, government bodies, community groups and private sector organisations.
This is a lead role. You'll take ownership of projects from problem definition through to recommendations, working closely with our wider technical specialists across hydrology, ecology, water quality and environmental science.
Your role
- Leading hydromorphological and geomorphological assessments of river channels and watercourses- from initial survey and field investigation through to analysis, interpretation and reporting
- Designing and developing restoration, maintenance and creation proposals for watercourses, tailored to the specific context and condition of each site
- Working on sediment dynamics, barrier removal or mitigation, natural flood management, nature restoration and channel management projects
- Leading project tasks and potentially entire projects through the full lifecycle- problem definition, data collection, fieldwork, analysis and drawing clear conclusions and recommendations
- Working across disciplines- collaborating with hydrologists, ecologists, water quality specialists, engineers and planners to deliver integrated environmental outcomes
- Contributing to business development- costing work, preparing technical and financial tenders, and building client relationships
- Developing new and innovative approaches to hydromorphological challenges, pushing the boundaries of how restoration and assessment work is done
- Producing high-quality technical reports and client-facing deliverables with clear data interpretation and visualisation

Hi there, I'm Kaushik Sharma and I manage this role
About you
- You're an experienced fluvial geomorphologist or hydromorphologist with significant field experience, who's ready to lead projects and bring technical depth to a growing practice.

- Significant hands-on field experience of fluvial geomorphology and hydromorphological assessment of river channels and watercourses
- Experience across sediment dynamics, barrier removal or mitigation, natural flood management, nature restoration, channel creation, maintenance and management
- Knowledge and understanding of key hydromorphological issues and their drivers in an Irish context is strongly preferred- particularly systems within the arterial drainage maintenance programme and the Irish environmental regulatory framework. Equivalent knowledge of UK or EU systems is also valuable

- Strong numerical, analytical and report-writing skills with an eye for detail
