Water and environmental consultancy with GIS and hydraulic modelling expertise
WRc Group is a 95+ year-old water and environmental research consultancy operating across water utilities, waste management, gas, and asset strategy. The tech stack is GIS-heavy (QGIS, ArcGIS, FME) with Python and SQL for data work—a pattern consistent with their active projects in pipeline inspection, hydraulic modelling, and GIS analysis. Current hiring is engineering-focused (8 of 11 open roles), distributed across junior, mid, and senior levels, suggesting they're scaling technical capacity to meet stated demand for data-driven solutions.
WRc Group provides consultancy, technical services, accreditation schemes, research, and training to water utilities, regulators, gas companies, governments, industrial manufacturers, and waste management organisations. Based in Swindon with additional offices in Manchester and Stirling, the 220-person team executes projects spanning clean water and wastewater treatment, pipeline inspection surveys, feasibility modelling, and hydraulic network assessments. Core service areas include audit and witness testing, statistical modelling, and GIS-based data analysis. The organisation reports challenges around approval timelines, meeting tight project deadlines, and scaling digital consultancy capabilities.
