Senior / Principal Marine Water Quality Modeller

3 weeks ago

Birmingham, United Kingdom Stantec Consulting International Ltd. Full time

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 currently have an exciting opportunity for a Senior / Principal Marine Water Quality Modeler to join us at any of our UK offices.

Stantec is working in partnership with the majority of 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.

Key to our growth is the continuous development of our technical expertise in understanding the context of water quality within environmental systems. Through integration with other expertise in urban and natural catchments, we work with a range of stakeholders to help clients and communities to develop solutions that deliver environmental performance sustainably and efficiently. This is a great opportunity for an experienced and imaginative water quality modeller to join an ambitious expert team in a role that will provide plenty of scope for technical development and career progression in the coming years through existing contracts and client relationships both in the UK and overseas.

You will work within a core of scientific and engineering experts, supporting a range of clients from the water sector, primarily, but also the energy and infrastructure sectors. Together, we will identify pollution sources, pathways, and impacts on sensitive receptors and develop both engineered and nature-based solutions.

The role encompasses scoping, data collection, development, execution, and presentation of multi-dimensional environmental water quality models. These models simulate the behaviour of reservoirs, lakes (Loughs and Lochs), as well as 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.

About You

You should possess a degree in physics, mathematics, or engineering. Ideally, you will have experience in consultancy and/or the water industry and either have attained or be working towards chartered membership in a relevant professional institution. As an experienced professional, you are expected to work independently and with minimal supervision, with extensive relevant experience that includes the following:


  • A good understanding of numerical modelling equations and discretisation, 2D mesh generation.
  • Experience using numerical modelling software such as MIKE, Delft3D, OpenFOAM, ADCIRC, and Telemac, with proven applications in relevant fields. This experience might include modelling hydrodynamics, multiphase flows, particle tracking, advection dispersion, water quality, and chemical processes. Ideally, you will also have a basic understanding of physico-chemical water quality and the associated regulatory standards for fresh and/or marine waters.
  • Experience with Linux, scripting languages such as Python/R, MIKE ECO-lab would also be an advantage.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills and experience to liaise with a broad range of stakeholders where you will be working closely with clients, and other professional staff across multi-disciplinary business groups.

We are proud of our culture. We have an open, friendly and professional environment where ideas are shared and opportunities seized.
