Job Description:
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.
The successful candidate will work collaboratively with colleagues across the UK and Ireland, responsible for technical oversight and governance for water sector EIA development projects, reporting to our UK&I Environmental Advisory, Assessment and Planning discipline lead. You will work alongside existing practitioners and support growth and capability strengthening. There will also be opportunities to work on various non-EIA projects with significant environmental components.
You should have substantial experience in providing strategic environmental advice and/or EIA delivery (including screening, consultation, scoping, and ES delivery) and in building strong stakeholder relationships. A broad understanding of environmental constraints management and all facets of EIA is essential. You might have a background as an environmental generalist, a town and country planner, or possess specific technical specialisms. Our in-house team covers all environmental disciplines, supporting your work. We have over 400 environmental and planning professionals delivering impactful projects across the UK&I, with strong growth prospects in the regulated water industry.
You can be based in any of our Stantec offices with hybrid working options, combining home and office work while maintaining close ties with colleagues and clients.
About You
You hold an environmental or related degree and are chartered (e.g., through CIWEM, CIEEM, IEMA). You understand the UK environmental consulting market and possess entrepreneurial and commercial flair to help grow our teams within a collaborative environment. Experience working within the regulated water industry is important.
You enjoy diverse, technically challenging work and delivering innovative, high-quality solutions for clients. You are people-oriented, enjoy working with multidisciplinary teams, and are passionate about the environment and doing the right thing. You have experience in growing and developing environmental teams, mentoring, and managing project teams.
You have broad EIA technical and legislative knowledge, with in-depth understanding of areas such as geo-environmental, ecology, archaeology, landscape, acoustics, or coastal/marine environments. Experience with EIA as part of the DCO process and Strategic Environmental Assessment is advantageous but not essential.
