Environmental Water Quality Consultant / Senior Consultant (Riverine Modelling) in Manchester

Join to apply for the Environmental Water Quality Consultant / Senior Consultant (Riverine Modelling) role at Stantec.

The Opportunity

Have you ever thought about joining a multidisciplinary team where you can work in a diverse, welcoming, and fun environment on amazing projects, while starting or continuing your journey to becoming professionally qualified? We currently have exciting opportunities for Water Quality Modellers to join us at one of our offices in Leeds, Newcastle, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, or Manchester. Stantec is working in partnership with water companies across the UK and Ireland, as well as with a wider stakeholder community, to develop effective and sustainable water and wastewater solutions that address the environmental needs of our inland waters and coast. The challenges are substantial as water quality standards become increasingly stringent and we consider a broader range of systems and environmental processes. This requires an integrated team that can work across the water cycle to meet industry-wide efficiency and environmental challenges. Key to our growth is the continuous development of skills, knowledge and expertise in understanding the context of water quality within environmental systems. Through integration with other knowledge in urban and natural catchments, we collaborate with a range of stakeholders to help clients and communities develop solutions that deliver sustainable and efficient environmental performance.

About You

You will be degree qualified in a relevant field, with postgraduate qualifications and/or experience within the water industry, and either be working towards or already be a chartered member of a relevant professional institution. You should have some working experience with at least one type of water quality modelling software (e.g. MIKE, Delft3D, SAGIS-SIMCAT, RQP) with demonstrable application in inland systems. This could be in the form of modelling physicochemical, biological, bacterial, or chemical parameters. You will gain a basic understanding of physicochemical water quality and the associated regulatory standards for freshwater. A background or understanding of the regulated water industry and/or catchment and nature-based solutions is advantageous but not mandatory.

Key Accountabilities Include:

• Delivery of technically sound quantitative models to support wider project delivery.
• Author and reviewer of technical evidence-led reports, including compliance with our quality assurance processes.
• Provide timely technical input and expertise to multidisciplinary projects and programmes of work.
• Building our client relationships and continuous development of our services across the UK and the Water sector.
• Mentoring of junior staff and strengthening relationships with other disciplines.

We offer a competitive salary, agile and flexible working arrangements, industry-leading training, great projects, and lots more!
