The Opportunity
Contaminated land and groundwater management sit at the intersection of environmental responsibility and technical complexity. Getting it right matters, not just for regulatory compliance, but for the communities, ecosystems and businesses that depend on clean, safe ground and water environments.
At Stantec, our Energy and Resources Group is growing, and we are looking for a Senior Geoenvironmental Consultant to play a key role in that growth. If you have built solid experience in groundwater and contaminated land consultancy and you are ready for a role where your expertise shapes major projects and develops the people around you, this could be exactly the right next step.
About The Role
Based in Warrington, Manchester or Shrewsbury, you will join a strong, collaborative team delivering high-quality geoenvironmental services across contaminated land, groundwater and hydrogeology projects.
Your work will span the full project lifecycle: scoping and managing field investigations, groundwater sampling and aquifer testing, data interpretation, risk assessment and technical reporting. You will communicate findings clearly to clients and stakeholders, mentor junior staff and contribute to business development as the team continues to expand.
This is a role with real variety. Projects across the Energy and Resources sector bring different challenges, different site conditions and different client needs, and the breadth of that portfolio is something the team genuinely values. A full clean UK driving licence and willingness to travel to UK offices and project sites are required.
Your Impact
The assessments you lead and the reports you produce will directly inform how contaminated sites are managed, remediated and ultimately returned to productive use. Your technical judgement will help clients navigate complex ground and groundwater challenges with confidence, and your recommendations will leave sites and the environments around them in a genuinely better condition.
The junior colleagues you mentor will carry the skills and standards you help build throughout their careers. At the senior level, that influence is one of the most rewarding parts of the role.

About You
You hold a degree in Hydrogeology, Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Geology or a related discipline, with an MSc preferred though not essential. You are Chartered or actively working towards it with a recognised professional body.
You bring relevant experience in groundwater studies applied to contaminated-site management and remediation, ideally in a consulting environment. You are comfortable designing, managing and supervising ground investigations, and you have solid experience in groundwater sampling, soil and gas data interpretation, and the preparation of comprehensive risk assessments and technical reports.
You communicate clearly and confidently with clients and colleagues alike, approach problem-solving with both rigour and pragmatism, and bring the people skills that make multidisciplinary teams work well together. You are interested in providing technical leadership, and you are looking for an environment that will support and reward that ambition.
