Opportunity

Stantec seeks a passionate and experienced Environmental Impact Assessment consultant at senior/principal level to support our water sector EIA advice and delivery across the UK and support team growth. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with colleagues across the UK and Ireland and be responsible for technical oversight and governance for water sector EIA development projects, reporting into our UK&I Environmental Advisory, Assessment and Planning discipline lead. You will work alongside our existing practitioners and support further growth and capability strengthening. You will also have the opportunity to work on a variety of non-EIA projects with significant environmental components. You can choose to be based in any of our Stantec offices with hybrid working, enabling a mix of home- and in-office working while staying closely connected to colleagues and clients.

About You

You have an environmental or related degree and you will be chartered (e.g., through CIWEM, CIEEM, IEMA). You have a good understanding of the environmental consulting market across the UK and combine entrepreneurial and commercial flair to help grow our teams within a collaborative and supportive environment. You will have a good understanding and experience of working within the regulated water industry. You relish a diverse and technically challenging workload, and enjoy delivering innovative high-quality solutions for clients while working collaboratively to deliver shared goals. You are people‑oriented, enjoy working with multi‑disciplinary teams and are passionate about the environment. You will be experienced in and focused on growing and developing environmental teams and mentoring and managing people and project teams. You have broad EIA technical and legislative knowledge and experience, with in-depth understanding of one or more environmental technical areas (e.g., geo‑environmental, ecology, archaeology, landscape, acoustics or coastal/marine). Experience of undertaking EIA as part of the DCO process and of Strategic Environmental Assessment would be helpful but not essential.
