Previsico are a flood forecasting company which spun out of Loughborough University in 2019 to predict and prevent the impact of flooding globally. This requires continuous innovation through harnessing leading data sources and cutting-edge technology to produce quality forecasts for those at risk of flooding.
Their story began in 2001 when Prof. Yu pioneered a live 2D flood modelling software called FloodMap Live which has become a widely used and cited software by academics and practitioners. This uses live modelling to deliver continuously updated actionable flood forecasts.
With investment and an increasing number of clients, they have rapidly grown to become a global provider of cutting-edge forecasting servicing, delivering to top global insurers, businesses, governments and humanitarian organisations. They have a passionate and highly skilled team. Their backgrounds cover academia, business development, flood modelling, programming, GIS analysis, user experience and product development.
Previsico are now looking for someone to help us scale-up our operations globally by working closely with Prof. Yu and the GIS team to improve our flood modelling performance and develop our modelling capacity in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. We are looking for a high performer with a proven experience in programming, flood modelling and GIS who can work on their own or as part of a team.
The ideal candidate will have proven experience in python programming, 2D flood modelling and a related degree in Geography or Engineering with over three years of experience in flood model development.
Salary will be £40,000 – £45,000 per annum with option for an equity stake in the company.
Previsico has an office in London (Old Street) and Loughborough (Holywell Enterprise Park). The successful applicant will be able to have flexible working arrangements but will be required to attend weekly meetings at the Loughborough office. The applicant will need to have the right to work in the UK.
Previsico is an equal opportunities employer, valuing diversity and strongly committed to providing equal employment opportunities for all employees and all applicants for employment. Equal opportunities are the only acceptable way to conduct business and they believe that the more inclusive our environments are, the better the work will be.
