Job description

Stantec’s Environmental Services Team works closely with our clients to develop innovative, sustainable, and efficient solutions to their needs. 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 professionals working to meet the unprecedented industry-wide efficiency and environmental challenges.

We seek a highly motivated Senior or Principal Geo-environmental Consultant to join our Ground Assessment team in Bristol. This is an excellent opportunity to join an ambitious team that will provide you with plenty of scope for career progression in the coming years. We can offer the flexibility of balancing home and office work, which will help maintain an excellent work-life blend and effective teamwork.

You will primarily support the delivery of our UK infrastructure programmes, primarily in the water sector, with key clients such as Southern Water and Thames. You will collaborate and work closely with our multidisciplinary engineering and design teams while providing support and advice to the contractors we are working with.

The key focus of this position will be to provide technical management and specialist input to a broad range of projects through all stages of the project lifecycle relating to the characterisation of materials and contaminated site management. The role may also include team management, project management, client relationship management, business development, and strategic support, depending on your interests and experience.

As we look to diversify further and grow our wider Stantec UK business, you will be presented with opportunities across our diversified business lines to further your career.

We are proud of Stantec's friendly, inclusive, and collaborative culture, and we have many other reasons for you to be excited about joining us. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, agile and flexible working arrangements, industry-leading training, great projects, and lots more!

About You

You will be degree-qualified in Geology, Hydrogeology, or any other relevant subject and will be a chartered member of a relevant professional institution (e.g., the Geological Society). Any additional professional certifications such as SiLC, SQP, or CL:AIRE DOW COP QP will also be viewed favourably.

You will be an excellent communicator who has the proven ability to forge new working relations with both new and existing clients, joint venture partners, and stakeholders whilst also having the ability to network professionally with your peers. Solid experience in the assessment of land quality evaluation and contaminated site management within a consulting environment is a must.

This position offers the right person a great opportunity to take up a key role in a strong, growing, collaborative team in delivering high-quality services, providing superior client service, and developing new business.
