Senior / Principal Marine Water Quality Modeller
Stantec is working in partnership with most water companies across the UK and Ireland and with a wider stakeholder community to develop effective and sustainable wastewater solutions driven by the environmental needs of our inland waters and coast. This role is a senior / principal position focusing on coastal and estuarine environments, based at any of our UK offices, with opportunities to support major projects overseas.
You will work within a core of scientific and engineering experts, supporting a range of clients, primarily from the water sector but also the energy and infrastructure sectors. Together, we will identify pollution sources, pathways, and impacts on sensitive receptors and develop engineered and nature-based solutions.
The role encompasses scoping, data collection, development, execution, and presentation of multidimensional environmental water quality models. These models simulate the behaviour of reservoirs, lakes (Loughs and Lochs), transitional, and coastal waters.
You will have extensive experience in 2D / 3D hydrodynamic and water quality modelling and are either a chartered member of a relevant professional institution or working towards membership. You will work independently with minimal supervision, and your expertise should include:
* A good understanding of numerical modelling equations and discretisation, 2D mesh generation
* Experience using numerical modelling software such as MIKE, Delft3D, and Telemac, with proven applications in relevant fields. This experience might include modelling hydrodynamics, multiphase flows, particle tracking, advection dispersion, water quality, and chemical processes.
* Ideally, a basic understanding of physicochemical water quality, as well as a good understanding of oceanography and the associated regulatory standards for fresh and/or marine waters.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills and confidence to liaise with a broad range of stakeholders, working closely with clients, as well as other professional staff across multidisciplinary business groups.
