Water Resource Consultant / Senior

Responsibilities

We seek a dedicated individual to support water resource projects, ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality and regulatory standards. A key aspect of this role is your enthusiasm for learning and developing technical skills in areas such as WRMPs, Drought Plans, WINEP investigations, and water resource modelling (e.g., Pywr, Aquator, Miser), alongside demand management and environmental assessments (HRA, SEA, WFD). You'll apply your strong numerical skills to hydrological analysis and contribute to technical report writing. Furthermore, you'll flexibly support the wider Water and Environment department, collaborating on diverse projects with groundwater, water quality, and flood risk teams.

About you

We welcome people from varied backgrounds (regulatory, academia, water company or consultancy) who have recent experience applying their knowledge of water resources in policy and technical areas. This role will likely suit individuals who are used to working in fast-paced, multidisciplinary teams.

We recognise that you are at a stage in your career where you need support to learn and grow, and Stantec will provide this. We also do not expect you to fulfil all the job requirements at this stage. A willingness to learn combined with strong numerical skills are key.

Qualifications

Ideally you will possess a strong grasp of UK water resource management and drought planning regulations and processes. You'll have practical experience across various water resources projects, including contributing to WRMPs, drought plans, and regional strategies, alongside expertise in supply-demand balance, hydrological assessments, demand forecasting, and options appraisal. Your role will involve hydrological analysis using tools like Excel, HYSIM, or GR6J, and you'll be proficient in GIS. Direct experience with water resources modelling tools such as Pywr, Miser, or Aquator is also a key requirement.
