About the Role
Ready to move beyond your graduate programme and lead the next wave of sustainable water solutions? At Stantec, we’re not just designing treatment plants; we're crafting a resilient future, from source to tap and drain to river. Join our integrated national team working on high-impact projects across the UK & Ireland that span the entire water cycle. Whether your passion lies in cleanwater resilience or wastewater recovery and environmental protection, this role offers the opportunity to transition from foundational roles to project leadership and technical specialisation.

Help secure long-term water supply through strategic resource options (SROs), design state-of-the-art treatment facilities, and pioneer source-to-tap solutions for emerging contaminants like PFAS. Focus on achieving ambitious environmental goals by designing advanced treatment for nutrient removal, optimising asset performance, and implementing schemes that champion resource recovery including energy, heat, and materials.

Your progression will be bespoke, with clear pathways to becoming a Chartered Engineer, a recognised technical specialist, or a future project leader. You will be mentored by industry leaders and given autonomy to take ownership of challenging work.

Your Day-to-Day Impact
Lead process design development, perform hydraulic analysis, develop mass balance models, and prepare technical reports and specifications. Conduct site investigations, lead asset optimisation studies, and perform essential on-site test work such as jar testing and pilot plant trials. Collaborate directly with UK water utility clients to shape business plans and translate strategic needs into viable engineering solutions. Engage with our global "one team" community to share knowledge and apply international best practices to local challenges.

Requirements

Experience
Demonstrable process engineering experience gained through a formal graduate programme or equivalent relevant experience in the water sector, with exposure to either cleanwater or wastewater specialisms.

About you
A collaborative spirit with a passion for working as part of an integrated, supportive team. A drive to apply innovation and industry best practice to deliver high-value, sustainable outcomes.

Qualifications
Relevant degree or equivalent qualification in engineering or related discipline. Commitment to professional development with a clear pathway to Chartered Engineer status supported by the company.
