Environmental Water Quality Consultant​/Senior Consultant; Marine Modelling

Have you ever thought about joining a multidisciplinary team where you can work in a diverse, welcoming, and fun environment on amazing projects, while starting or continuing your journey to becoming professionally qualified? Then look no further than Stantec. We currently have exciting opportunities for Water Quality Modellers to join us at one of our offices in Leeds, Newcastle, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, or Manchester.

Stantec is working in partnership with water companies across the UK and Ireland, as well as with a broader stakeholder community, to develop effective and sustainable water and wastewater solutions that address the environmental needs of our inland waters and coast. The challenges are substantial as water quality standards tighten and the impact and integration of a wider range of systems and environmental processes need to be considered.

This requires an integrated team that can work across the water cycle to meet industry-wide efficiency and environmental challenges. Key to our growth is the continuous development of our skills, knowledge and expertise in understanding the context of water quality within environmental systems. Through integration with other knowledge in urban and natural catchments, we collaborate with a range of stakeholders to help clients and communities develop solutions that deliver sustainable and efficient environmental performance.

This is a great opportunity for a water quality modeller to join an ambitious and expert team in a role that will provide ample scope for technical development and career progression.

You will be degree-qualified in science, mathematics, or engineering, with postgraduate qualifications and/or experience within the water industry, and either be working towards or already be a chartered member of a relevant professional institution. You should have some working experience with at least one type of water quality modelling software (e.g. MIKE, Delft3D, Telemac or AEM3D) with demonstrable application in estuarine, marine or coastal systems.

This could be in the form of the modelling of physico-chemical, biological, bacterial or chemical parameters. You will have a basic understanding of physico-chemical water quality, and the associated regulatory standards for fresh and marine waters.

You should have a basic understanding of coding within programmes such as Python or R. You will also have the necessary skills and experience to liaise with a broad range of stakeholders, where you will be working closely with clients and other professional staff across multidisciplinary business groups.

• Delivery of technically sound quantitative models to support wider project delivery.
• Author and reviewer of technical evidence-led reports, including compliance with our quality assurance processes.
• Provide timely technical input and expertise to multidisciplinary projects and programmes of work.
• Building our client relationships and continuous development of our services across the UK and the Water sector.
• Mentoring of junior staff and strengthening relationships with other disciplines.

We are proud of our culture. We have an open, friendly and professional environment where ideas are shared, and opportunities seized. We know that our continued success and development depend on yours, so we go the extra mile when it comes to providing you with the support you need to be the very best. If you want to work on exciting and diverse projects that make a difference in people’s lives, then a career at Stantec could be the one for you!

We offer a competitive salary, agile and flexible working arrangements, industry-leading training, great projects, and lots more!
