    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. 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 develop solutions that sustainably and efficiently deliver environmental performance. This is an excellent 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, primarily from the water sector but also the energy and infrastructure sectors. Together, we will identify pollution sources, pathways, and impacts on sensitive receptors and develop engineered and nature-based solutions. The role encompasses scoping, data collection, development, execution, and presentation of multidimensional environmental water quality models. 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. About You You will have extensive experience in 2D / 3D hydrodynamic and water quality modelling 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, 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 physicochemical water quality, as well asa good understanding of oceanography and the associated regulatory standards for fresh and/or marine waters. Strong written and verbal communication skills and the experience and confidence to liaise with a broad range of stakeholders working closely with clients, as well as other professional staff across multidisciplinary business groups. We are proud of our culture. We have an open, friendly and professional environment where ideas are shared and opportunities are seized. We know our continuing success and development depend on yours, so we go all the way to giving you the support you need to be the very best.
