The Opportunity

Our expanding workload in groundwater resources and contaminated land-related work means we are actively recruiting to support our growing team specialising in these areas. We seek energetic and innovative staff to deliver our solution-oriented services to existing and new clients.

Stantec is looking for a Senior Principal Hydrogeologist who can lead the delivery of hydrogeological and environmental aspects of varied projects across the UK. This position offers the potential to influence a wide range of challenging projects through innovation and technically excellent solutions. Chartership with a relevant professional body is expected, or alternatively, a wealth of international professional experience and active membership with a professional organisation (i.e. IAH, Geol Soc, CIWEM, etc). This position will require you to work within multi-disciplinary teams to support projects across the UK and internationally. The position can be based in Reading, High Wycombe, Shrewsbury, Birmingham, Glasgow or Edinburgh.

As a Senior Principal Hydrogeologist, you will be able to provide leadership internally and for clients within the regulatory, business and policy environment in which we operate. You will have a history of developing strong working relationships with colleagues and clients at multiple levels and have excellent networking and business development skills. You will have an MSc in hydrogeology or a relevant PhD and/or considerable post-graduate experience leading the delivery of hydrogeology-related projects. Experience earlier in your career in field-based monitoring/sampling and drilling supervision, pumping test supervision and analysis, data analytics, scripting and numerical groundwater modelling, or geochemical modelling and hydrochemical analysis would be considered an advantage.

You will also be expected to lead knowledge-sharing activities within the business, build the reputation of our team, and be an essential part of business development and delivery. Your technical reporting and review skills must be excellent, and sound knowledge of CDM 2015 and Environment Agency regulations would be an advantage.

About You

Candidates must demonstrate good experience in mentoring and knowledge sharing, fostering safe site work practices, delivering high-quality factual and interpretative reporting, best-practice data management and technical governance, pragmatic and advanced quantitative analysis and effective science communication in stakeholder workshops. The individual will be expected to demonstrate a history of producing high-quality oral and written communications. Good time management skills, professionalism, and a flexible attitude are essential to working within our busy, dynamic team.
