Job description

Overview

Stantec seeks an experienced consultant to join our busy Flood and Water Management team. This position would ideally be based from our Reading office, but we would however consider other locations for the right candidate. This is a key role within our team and for the right candidate there is ample scope to grow and develop your personal profile and learn new skills along the way.

We are fortunate to work with an excellent range of Public and Private clients across the UK. Our client-focused approach has enhanced our reputation as one of the leading infrastructure and development consultancies in the UK. Our success means that we are actively recruiting to support our growing water management groups. Our work covers a wide range of sectors and technical disciplines, and depending on your skills and interests, you will be able to engage in projects ranging from policy and modelling-based assessments to the detailed design of flood management and river restoration schemes. However, our primary interest is in someone who can support our existing river restoration and development projects.

Responsibilities

• Lead the whole project lifecycle from initial enquiry through to successful delivery, and manage other members of the team as well as wider relationships across the business.
• Provide support to our Water Management Team and Project Directors, developing your role as a principal consultant.
• Support the eco-services sector, delivering fluvial audits, river restoration and geomorphology assessments, and support on WFD Assessments, EIA, flood risk assessments, drainage designs, and option reporting for all types and scales of projects, liaising with design teams and client representatives.
• Engage in projects ranging from river restoration schemes, habitat creation, flood risk assessments, and flood alleviation for public and private sector clients.

For the right candidate, we can tailor a role to suit your experience and aspirations. We can offer you a competitive benefits package, a strong culture of learning and development, and a great environment to work in. You will potentially be presented with future opportunities across our diversified business lines to further your career. We can also offer you a mix of home and office working, which will help maintain a good work-life balance and effective teamwork. We work as a national technical team and so there is an opportunity to work with a wide range of clients and fellow professionals across the UK.

About You

You will be a BSc/BEng/MEng/MSc qualified and ideally be chartered (or nearly chartered) through the relevant institution ICE/CIWEM.

You should also be able to demonstrate significant capability in technical leadership and delivery in complex water and environmental projects, specifically in one or more of the following areas;

• Geomorphology and fluvial audits
• River engineering, restoration/habitat improvement, flood alleviation schemes
• Habitats directive and water framework directive assessments.
• Flood risk assessments, development resilience and environmental statements
• River and sediment hydraulic modelling.
• Catchment based approaches to sustainable water and sediment management.

Your passion and experience of delivering quality design solutions is most crucial to your success in this role. You will be ambitious, forward thinking and have a desire to better your career.

Benefits & Culture

The friendly and collaborative culture at Stantec is something we are proud of and we have many other reasons for you to be excited about joining us. We offer a competitive salary, agile and flexible working arrangements, industry leading training, great projects and lots more.
