Have you ever considered joining a multidisciplinary team where you can work in a diverse, welcoming, and fun environment on amazing projects across the UK and globally? Then look no further than Stantec. We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior / Principal Water Quality Modeller to join us at any of our UK offices, focusing on coastal and estuarine environments. Stantec is working in partnership with most water companies across the UK and Ireland and with a wider stakeholder community to develop effective and sustainable wastewater solutions driven by the environmental needs of our inland waters and coast. With increasing political and public pressure, challenges are substantial as water quality standards tighten, and we consider a wider 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. Though predominantly focused on the UK, there are wider opportunities to work with colleagues overseas, including supporting major projects in the United States.

These models simulate the behaviour of reservoirs, lakes (Loughs and Lochs), transitional, and coastal waters. This position offers the right person a genuine opportunity to improve our environments and communities. We seek driven individuals who think differently and love to challenge conventional thinking. Our expanding project portfolio identifies water quality solutions that meet community needs, including reducing carbon and improving biodiversity.
