Overview

Join to apply for the Principal Geomorphologist role at Stantec.

Stantec seeks an experienced consultant to join our busy Flood and Water Management team. This position would ideally be based from our Reading office, but we would consider other locations for the right candidate. This is a key role with opportunities to grow and develop your profile and learn new skills.

We work with an excellent range of Public and Private clients across the UK. Our client-focused approach has enhanced our reputation as one of the leading infrastructure and development consultancies in the UK. We are actively recruiting to support our growing water management groups.

Our work covers a wide range of sectors and technical disciplines, and depending on your skills and interests, you will engage in projects ranging from policy and modelling-based assessments to the detailed design of flood management and river restoration schemes. Our primary interest is in someone who can support our existing river restoration and development projects.

Ideally, you will hold a background in geomorphology or flood risk and your main tasks will include providing support to our Water Management Team and Project Directors, developing your role as a principal consultant.

You will have responsibility and lead the whole project lifecycle from initial enquiry through to successful delivery, and manage other members of the team as well as wider relationships across the business. You will also support our eco-services sector, delivering fluvial audits, river restoration and geomorphology assessments, and will support on some WFD Assessments, EIA, flood risk assessments, drainage designs, and option reporting for all types and scales of projects, liaising with the design teams and client representatives.

Our projects range from river restoration schemes, habitat creation, flood risk assessments, and flood alleviation for public and private sector clients. You will therefore have an interest in enhancing the water environment, flood risk, and river engineering projects, with a focus on delivering a client-focused service.

For the right candidate, we can tailor a role to suit your experience and aspirations. We can offer you a competitive benefits package, a strong culture of learning and development, and a great environment to work in. There is potential for future opportunities across Stantec UK with a mix of home and office working to help maintain a good work-life balance.
