The Opportunity
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. This role offers the opportunity to 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. The role will include supporting the delivery of a broad range of environmental planning work streams to deliver integrated environmental services.
We can offer 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 may be presented with future opportunities across our diversified business lines to further your career.

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.
