The Opportunity
Stantec is seeking an experienced and enthusiastic Senior or Principal Flood Modeller/Hydrologist to join our Hydrological Sciences team. Your location is not critical as we have numerous offices around the UK and currently work flexibly and collaboratively. With secured frameworks and numerous other workstreams, we have a growing pipeline of interesting opportunities. Our team currently services clients from the following sectors: the UK water industry, transport and energy infrastructure, minerals and waste, and property.
You would be required to work with the team and independently to deal with new enquiries from clients, develop fee proposals, set up and manage projects, deliver technical work and assist more junior staff in their work. Being organised and able to manage several projects simultaneously is essential. You must be able to collaborate with clients, local authorities, and other stakeholders - including undertaking site visits.
Typical Responsibilities:
1. Flood Risk Assessments and Flood Modelling (fluvial, pluvial and tidal)
2. Outline Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) design and/or detailed drainage design
3. Hydraulic modelling (1D, 2D, and 1D-2D) of rivers
4. Discharge impact assessments and normal/low flow/water resources modelling
5. WINEP investigations and Natural Flood Management Investigations
6. FEH analyses
7. Surface water flood modelling (2D direct-rainfall)
8. Environmental Impact Assessments
9. Fluvial geomorphology audits
10. Hydromorphological impact assessments
11. Water Framework Directive assessments
12. Sediment transport assessments/modelling
13. Bespoke hydrological assessments and monitoring
14. River restoration and Natural Flood Management
15. Discharge permit applications
About you
You will hold strong experience in Hydraulic Modelling software (e.g., Flood Modeller Pro, ISIS - Tuflow, Estry - Tuflow, WinDes and Microdrainage) with extensive knowledge of hydrological assessments and flow estimation or other flow calculation methods. Experience with SuDS and surface/foul water drainage design alongside experience with hydrological EIA is also essential.
You will ideally hold a degree in Environmental Science and must hold a relevant master's degree through a separate or integrated course. For this position, you should be chartered with a relevant professional institution; however, we will consider and support individuals currently working towards obtaining chartership.
This role offers the opportunity to work in a truly multi-disciplinary environment, giving access to a wide range of exciting projects in the UK. #J-18808-Ljbffr
