About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Senior or Principal Consultant to join Stantec’s UK Air Quality team. You will collaborate closely with colleagues across our Environmental Services group and other disciplines including Engineering, Buildings, Infrastructure, Transportation, and Planning.

We also conduct detailed technical studies to support Environmental Permit applications across sectors such as power, water, industrial, minerals, and waste.

In this role, you will lead and contribute to air quality impact assessments involving road traffic, combustion sources, and odour emissions.

- Strong experience undertaking and overseeing air quality impact assessments.
- Proficiency in dispersion modelling using tools such as ADMS Roads, AERMOD, or ADMS5.
- Experience applying GIS in an air quality context, particularly for digitalising modelling inputs and outputs.
- Ideally, experience assessing highway schemes in line with Highways England guidance (DMRB, WebTAG).
- Advantageous experience evaluating emissions to air from power, minerals, industrial, or waste sector projects.
- Strong understanding of Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) and the UK planning and regulatory system.
- Experience managing, mentoring, and supporting junior colleagues to foster a collaborative and supportive team environment.

About you
