Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Stantec Full time

**Redefine your personal 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.

No 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**

We are looking for individual(s) who can help lead growth in this capability, manage and direct a range of complex projects and maintain and build client relationships within an agile consulting team.

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 r industry operators, for the UK environmental regulator(s) (e.g. EA, NRW, SEPA or NIEA).

To be successful in this role you will have a deep understanding of environmental themes and prevailing regulation and emerging themes in the UK. We would expect you to have extensive experience and hold full chartered membership of at least one relevant professional body with a commitment to continued development. It would be an advantage, but not essential, if you hold position(s) on relevant industry or technical working groups. We do not expect one individual to necessarily be familiar with all areas in which out team advises, however ideally you will have a track record in either:

- Industrial Environmental Permitting and aligned regulations, including but not limited to the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), Medium Combustion Plant Directive (MCPD); Energy from Waste etc or
- Resource recovery, mining waste, quarry restoration, deposit for recovery, end of waste, materials management and CL:AIRE DoW CoP.

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, have the ability to work autonomously, develop new and existing business, mentor staff and support clients and projects across our UK teams.

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.
