Job description

Stantec’s Energy team is growing and as such we are seeking a Geoenvironmental Consultant with an interest in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and hydrogeology to join our friendly and collaborative Ground Engineering team. You’ll play a key role in supporting our energy clients as they drive the clean energy transition and deliver major infrastructure projects across the UK.

Our team provides expertise in contaminated land, hydrogeology, geotechnical engineering, and ground investigations. This role focuses on the front end of project lifecycles—feasibility and planning—with a strong emphasis on EIA. Experience with Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) and the Development Consent Order (DCO) process would be advantageous, though we welcome applicants keen to learn.

You’ll also have opportunities to contribute to infrastructure and community development projects, working within multidisciplinary teams from preliminary design through to construction.

What You’ll Do

• Support feasibility and planning stages of energy and infrastructure projects.
• Prepare and review Phase 1 desk studies and contaminated land reports.
• Collect, review, and interpret ground investigation and laboratory data.
• Contribute to scoping reports, Preliminary Environmental Information Reports (PEIR) and Environmental Statements (ES).
• Write clear, concise, and technically robust reports tailored to client needs.
• Collaborate across disciplines and attend site visits or consultation events as required.

About You

We’re looking for someone with:

• A degree in geology, hydrogeology, chemistry, environmental science, or a related subject.
• Experience in environmental/engineering consultancy or ground investigation contracting.
• Experience in contributing to/delivering EIAs.
• Strong technical writing and communication skills.
• Knowledge of hydrogeology and contaminated land assessment.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• A full UK driving licence.
• Motivation to work toward chartership with a relevant professional body.

Desirable skills:

• Experience preparing PEIRs, ESs, and technical documents for DCO applications.

Why Join Stantec?

At Stantec, you’ll enjoy:

• A competitive benefits package.
• A strong culture of learning and professional development.
• A supportive, collaborative environment.
• The chance to make a real impact in the clean energy transition.
