best
As part of continued and ambitious UK
growth, Stantec has identified opportunities to grow its teams across
the UK, which specialises in Environmental Permitting and Regulatory
Compliance. The role(s) could be based in any one of our UK offices.
The team provides bespoke and expert advice and services to clients
across water, energy, waste, resources, minerals, infrastructure and
development sectors.
We guide clients through the
consenting process under the Environmental Permitting Regulations
(EPR) regime in England and Wales and equivalent in Scotland and
Northern Ireland. Our work includes initial feasibility and due
diligence, consenting strategy/coordination and stakeholder liaison
through to extensive operational compliance and closure support. We
work closely with client teams, investors, regulators and legal
experts.
N o two projects are the same and our team advises
across the spectrum of activities regulated under EPR regardless of
sector, including: water activities; waste; industrial installations;
power generation and combustion; chemicals; and radioactive
activities. A significant area of growth is ‘industrial permitting’
which can often include complex regulatory approaches with multiple
activities and interlinked regimes.
We also undertake a
significant amount of work associated with preventing the generation
of, using or managing wastes (soils/aggregates) from and in
construction in support of major infrastructure, quarry restoration
and development sectors. Our team is proud to have written major new
industry guidance in this respect ( CIRIA C809 ) and we remain
at the fore of industry working groups associated with the wider soil
resource and regulatory interlinkages with other sectors (e.g.
bioresources).
We work across Stantec’s UK business closely
collaborating with our fully in house multidisciplinary technical
specialist teams (e.g. air quality; hydrogeology; noise/acoustics;
process engineers; environmental auditing etc) together with wider
teams focused on planning and EIA, environmental management, asset
management and business consulting.
About
you
You will have achieved an Honours Degree in
Environmental/Earth Science or broader Environmental Management. You
may currently work in environmental or engineering consultancy,
directly for industry operators, or for the UK environmental
regulator(s) (e.g. EA, NRW, SEPA or NIEA). Ideally, you will have
accrued some experience and be actively working towards relevant
professional accreditation/chartership (e.g. MCIWM, CEnv, MIEMA
etc).
You may have specific experience in one particular
area (e.g. Materials Management, Industrial Permitting, Waste etc) or
a broader background. The role will also likely extend to wider
environmental management and compliance advisory support to projects
through planning, EIA and ongoing client operations. You should be
willing to learn, be a good communicator and able to work in office
based and remote teams. We are as much interested in your aptitude and
willingness to grow with our team as we are your specific technical
background.
Travel will be required between Stantec’s UK
offices but also to attend client meetings, site visits and industry
events (workshops, conferences, etc.) where these cannot be otherwise
attended via remote means. Some overnight stays may be required as
part of the role.
All applicants must be eligible to work in
the UK at the time you start employment.
