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? 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. Though predominantly focused on the UK, there are wider opportunities to work with colleagues overseas, including supporting major projects in the United States. 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. 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. Our expanding project portfolio identifies water quality solutions that meet community needs, including reducing carbon and improving biodiversity. 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: 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.
