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?
Then come and join us at Stantec.
We're seeking a passionate and experienced Environmental Impact Assessment Consultant at principal or team lead level to draw together our water sector EIA delivery across the UK and support team growth.
The successful candidate will work collaboratively with colleagues across the UK and island of Ireland and be responsible for technical oversight and governance for water sector EIA development projects, reporting into 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 (15 years+) in full EIA delivery (including screening, consultation, scoping and ES delivery) and in building strong 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. All environmental technical disciplines are represented in house and are 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 and with hybrid working allowing for a mix of home- and in-office working but always ensuring close ties to your colleagues and clients.
About You
You have an environmental or related degree and you will be chartered (eg through CIWEM, CIEEM, IEMA).
You have a good understanding of the environmental consulting market across the UK and have 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 be experienced in and focused on growing and developing environmental teams and mentoring and managing people and project teams.
You have broad EIA technical and legislative knowledge and experience and most likely in-depth understanding of one or more environmental technical areas, such as geo-environmental, ecology, archaeology, landscape, acoustics or the coastal / marine environment. Experience of undertaking EIA as part of the DCO process and of Strategic Environmental Assessment would be helpful, but not essential to the role.
