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?

T hen come and join us at Stantec.

We're seeking a passionate and experienced Environmental Impact Assessment Consultant at the principal or team lead level to coordinate our water sector EIA delivery across the UK and support team growth.

The successful candidate will work collaboratively with colleagues across the UK and the island of Ireland and be responsible for technical oversight and governance for water sector EIA development projects, reporting to the UK environmental assessment capability lead. You will bring together our existing practitioners and support further growth and capability strengthening. You will have substantial demonstrable experience in full EIA delivery (including screening, consultation, scoping and ES delivery) and in solid building relationships with key stakeholders. You will also have the opportunity to work on a variety of non-EIA projects with significant environmental components.

You will have a wide-ranging understanding of all facets of EIA and be an accomplished practitioner but you might have a background as an environmental generalist, a planner or have particular technical specialisms to bring to the role alongside those of our existing spectrum of technical teams, with all environmental technical disciplines represented in house and available to work with you. We have a team of over 400 environmental and planning professionals delivering impactful projects across the UK&I with exceptionally strong growth and look ahead in the regulated water industry.

You can choose to be based in any of our Stantec offices, with hybrid working allowing for a mix of home and in-office work while always ensuring close ties to your colleagues and clients.

About You

You have an environmental or related degree and you will be chartered (eg CIEEM, MIEMA).

You have a good understanding of the UK's environmental consulting market and the combination of entrepreneurial and commercial flair that will help us further grow our teams within a collaborative and supportive environment.

You relish a diverse and technically challenging workload, and enjoy delivering innovative high-quality solutions for clients, while working collaboratively to deliver shared goals. You are people-oriented, enjoy working with multi-disciplinary teams and are passionate about the environment and doing the right thing.

You will have experience in and be focused on growing and developing environmental teams, mentoring and managing people, and managing project teams.

You have broad EIA technical and legislative knowledge and most likely an in-depth understanding of one or more environmental technical areas, such as geo-environmental, ecology, archaeology, landscape, acoustics, and marine environments.
