Stantec's Environmental Team works closely with our clients to develop innovative, sustainable, and efficient solutions to their needs by applying genuinely new ways of working. We are looking for driven individuals who think differently and love to challenge conventional thinking to join us in a growing, collaborative team of like-minded consultants working to meet the unprecedented industry-wide efficiency and environmental challenges.
We are seeking a Senior or Principal Environmental Planner/Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Consultant to join us. The location is flexible and could be in any of our nationwide network of offices. We are excited by the potential growth prospects and this is a good opportunity to join an ambitious team that will provide you with plenty of scope for career progression in the coming years.
You will primarily support the delivery of our UK infrastructure and development programmes within the water, transport, and planning sectors. Our clients strongly demand that we carry out SEA on plans, programmes, and policies such as water resource management plans, drought management plans, drainage and wastewater management plans, regional transport strategies, and local development plans.
This role offers the opportunity to work in a truly multi-disciplinary environment, giving access to a broad knowledge base with the support of experts across the business. It is anticipated that the role will include supporting the delivery of a broad range of environmental planning work streams to deliver integrated environmental services. Given the range of services we provide and the sectors we operate in, we can tailor the opportunity around the interests and ambitions of the right candidate.
We can offer you many benefits, including a competitive benefits package, a strong culture of learning and development, and a great work environment. As we look to further diversify and grow our wider Stantec UK business, you will potentially be presented with future opportunities across our diversified business lines to further your career.
ABOUT YOU
You will hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in one of the following areas: Environmental Management, Environmental Assessment, Environmental Science or Environmental Planning, which is accredited by the relevant professional body (CIWEM, IEMA or RTPI).
You will have experience in environmental assessment, including SEA, Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and ideally also environmental appraisals and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) / planning applications. Knowledge of the UK consenting regime for infrastructure projects; experience of working with infrastructure providers, utilities such as water companies, and local authorities; and working within a consulting environment will also be of benefit.
Preferably, you will have an understanding of town planning, sustainability, landscape, archaeology, ecology, contaminated land and hydrology.
