The Opportunity

Are you a passionate environmental leader seeking a challenge to make a real impact? Do you thrive on tackling complex environmental challenges and building successful teams? Then come and join us at Stantec.

We're seeking 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.

T he successful candidate will work collaboratively with colleagues across the UK and island of 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 will have substantial demonstrable experience in full providing strategic environmental advice and/ or EIA delivery (including screening, consultation, scoping and ES delivery) and in building strong relationships with key stakeholders. You will have a wide-ranging understanding of environmental constraints management and all facets of EIA but you might have a background as an environmental generalist, a town and country planner or have particular technical specialisms to bring to the role alongside those of our existing spectrum of technical teams.

All environmental technical disciplines are represented in house and are available to work with you. We have a team of over 400 environmental and planning professionals delivering impactful projects across the UK&I with exceptionally strong growth and look ahead in the regulated water industry.

You can choose to be based in any of our Stantec offices and with hybrid working allowing for a mix of home- and in-office working but always ensuring close ties to your colleagues and clients.

About You

You have an environmental or related degree and you will be chartered (eg through CIWEM, CIEEM, IEMA). You have a good understanding of the environmental consulting market across the UK and have the combination of entrepreneurial and commercial flair that will help us further 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 and doing the right thing. You will be experienced in and focussed on growing and developing environmental teams and mentoring and managing people and project teams.

You have broad EIA technical and legislative knowledge and experience and most likely in-depth understanding of one or more environmental technical areas, such as geo-environmental, ecology, archaeology, landscape, acoustics or the coastal / marine environment.

Experience of undertaking EIA as part of the DCO process and of Strategic Environmental Assessment would be helpful, but not essential to the role.
