The Opportunity

At Stantec, we have built our reputation over decades of success. We are now looking forward to a very exciting period ahead as we grow our multidisciplinary teams. Stantec’s four key values are:

• We are driven to achieve;
• We put people first;
• We do what is right; and
• We are better together.

These values describe perfectly how we work together; supporting each other and guiding clients to achieve project requirements. We do what is right by designing with communities in mind, whilst seeking the best environmental and social outcomes.

As such, we are currently seeking an experienced EIA Coordinator from a Senior level through to Senior Associate to join our team permanently. With offices across the UK, we can offer a mix of home and office work to maintain a good work‑life balance and effective teamwork. We encourage applicants from any UK location to apply.

We are working on exciting and innovative energy projects such as carbon capture and storage, renewable energy of all types and scales, hydrogen, and transmission & distribution.
