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 and be responsible for technical oversight and governance for water sector EIA development projects, reporting into our UK&I Environmental Advisory, Assessment and Planning discipline lead. You will work alongside our existing practitioners and support further growth and capability strengthening. You will also have the opportunity to work on a variety of non-EIA projects with significant environmental components.
You will have substantial demonstrable experience in providing strategic environmental advice and/or EIA delivery (including screening, consultation, scoping and ES delivery) and in building strong relationships with key stakeholders. You should have a broad understanding of environmental constraints management and all facets of EIA, with a background as an environmental generalist, town and country planner, or with specific technical specialisms. Our in-house team of over 400 environmental and planning professionals delivers impactful projects across the UK&I, especially in the regulated water industry.
You can choose to be based in any of our Stantec offices with hybrid working arrangements, combining home and in-office work, maintaining close ties with colleagues and clients.
About You
You have an environmental or related degree, are chartered (e.g., through CIWEM, CIEEM, IEMA), and possess a good understanding of the environmental consulting market in the UK. You should have a mix of entrepreneurial and commercial flair to help grow our teams within a collaborative environment. Experience working within the regulated water industry is essential.
You enjoy a diverse and challenging workload, delivering high-quality solutions collaboratively. You are people-oriented, passionate about the environment, and experienced in growing and developing environmental teams, mentoring, and managing project teams.
You have broad EIA technical and legislative knowledge, with in-depth expertise in 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.
Why Join us?
Our People Culture: We're a close-knit, friendly, and collaborative team.
Growth: We're expanding across the UK, and you can be part of it!
Awards: Recognized as the International Consulting Firm of the Year and Best Place to Work - Large Consulting Firms, and among the top 10 most sustainable companies by Corporate Knights.
* Great Benefits: Competitive salary, pension, holidays, private medical insurance, gym discounts, and more.
Flexible working arrangements, exciting projects in water, infrastructure, and residential sectors, industry-leading training, and professional development opportunities.
