Stantec in the UK has appointed Chris Mooij as strategic technical consultant for water in support of their advancing growth within the sector.
Based at High Wycombe in the UK, he will be responsible for building on Stantec’s services and resources in areas of asset and catchment solutions in the water sector.
Chris Mooij is experienced at executive director level and has worked with operators, regulators, non-government organisations and stakeholders for more than 25 years. His water sector expertise is enhanced by broader experience in ports & harbours; marine; offshore renewable energy; mining; and oil & gas.
Prior to joining Stantec, he was an executive director at Intertek Energy and Water Consulting Services with a career focus on the development of high value environmental engineering consultancy services for the water industry supporting many of the UK water companies.
Commenting on his appointment, Chris Mooij said:
“The community is more engaged with water than ever before and it is our professional responsibility to think and design with community in mind, and that is why Stantec was the best fit for me.”
“Being holistically integrated in our water cycle thinking is the only smart option moving forward. The challenges are many and we will need to be smarter in the way we work with data, invigorate assets and optimise our solutions in order to deliver community solutions in the most affordable way.”
Tim Williams, strategic growth & business director for water added that Mooij’s experience and expertise would further boost Stantec’s capability in delivering innovative and cost effective water asset and catchment solutions for clients.
UK water companies are invited to join an upcoming webinar which will explore how the sector can take indirect potable reuse (IPR) from concept to full-scale operational reality.
James Sumsion, CEO of predictive water intelligence specialists Kohtari, says the water sector needs to take a giant leap forward, so that it can anticipate and act upon water quality issues - rather than merely react.
Ray Moulds, Sales Director at Flood Control International, takes a look at how automated sliding floodgates are supporting secondary containment at water and sewerage company sites.
With the UK government demanding a 50% reduction in storm overflow spills by 2029, the era of reactive management is over. Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 July 2025, then environment secretary Steve Reed said, “This Government will cut water companies’ sewage pollution in half by the end of the decade.”
