About Our Groundwater Team
BGS is recognised by its stakeholders as the authoritative national and international long-term provider of data, information and impartial advice on groundwater resources. BGS has a global reputation for impactful research into groundwater resources and particularly for its role in water security and climate-change adaptation and implications for human health and livelihoods. In the UK, BGS undertakes a wide range of field- and desk-based projects on groundwater quality, quantity and flows, working at scales from local to national to address challenges on water security and the energy transition.
We have the largest group of groundwater research scientists in the UK, with 35 hydrogeologists and environmental modellers, and have access to a research group of 450 scientists to enable an interdisciplinary assessment of groundwater-related issues.
We have opportunities for experienced professionals with hydrogeology and water-resource knowledge and experience to join us.
About the Role
You will apply specialist scientific and technical skills to deliver and develop research projects for BGS. You will be working on several projects and will be required to become involved with a range of work, including:
* Applying specialist hydrogeology, numerical and geoscience skills and working collaboratively to deliver and develop research projects for BGS.
* Leading projects and teams in hydrogeological data collection, data analysis, interpretation and reporting.
* Writing and delivering publications, presentations and funding applications.
* Building engagement and collaboration with internal and external partners and customers, including overseas.
* Playing an active part in the groundwater science community, publishing research and presenting at conferences.
* Managing projects and people.
We will support you in developing your personal skills and knowledge further, and we will provide opportunities for you to represent BGS in external networks.
About You
We are keen to hear from you if you meet the following essential requirements. We will review essential and desirable requirements at both the shortlisting and interview stage. There is room to accommodate individuals who meet the essential criteria with demonstrable strengths in one or more of the desirable criteria.

* Enthusiasm for the work of BGS and our core values of impact, impartiality, and knowledge.
* Evidence of effective leadership and teamworking skills.
