Job description

Overview

As we move into AMP 8 and continue with our growth plans across the UK & Ireland, we are seeking expressions of interest from Senior level Geo Environmental Consultants looking for their next career opportunity in the coming weeks and months.

Stantec’s Environmental Services Team works closely with our clients to develop innovative, sustainable and efficient solutions. We are looking for driven individuals who think differently and enjoy challenging conventional thinking to join a growing, collaborative team of like-minded professionals working to meet 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 or Cardiff. This is an excellent opportunity to join an ambitious team with strong potential for career progression in the coming years. We offer flexibility to balance home and office work to support a good work-life blend and effective teamwork.

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

The key focus of this position is 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 have 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 reasons 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). Additional professional certifications such as SiLC, SQP or CL:AIRE DOW COP QP will also be viewed favourably.

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

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