Senior Civil Engineer - Water

Here at Stantec, we are preparing for what promises to be a very exciting 2026 and beyond. We continue to provide technical consultancy services to Scottish Water through our m2 JV, and have recently been confirmed as one of two Primary Designers for Scottish Water's DV4 Enterprise for the SR27 investment period. This will bring a diverse array of projects and opportunities for our staff, as we provide technical expertise across a large portfolio of work in a highly collaborative and fast-paced environment. Our involvement will span the full project lifecycle, providing engineering design capability during concept and definition stages, with ongoing support as required to the Asset Delivery Partners (ADPs) during detailed design and delivery.

Within our Glasgow and Edinburgh based teams, we are currently supporting our clients in delivering projects across areas including wastewater infrastructure, storm water overflows and treatment works. In addition to this, our Scottish teams also have the opportunity to support our colleagues across the country, working on projects for Northumbrian Water, Yorkshire Water & United Utilities.

In order to continue delivering technical excellence, and to grow and strengthen our capabilities in Scotland, we are looking to recruit a Senior Civil Engineer into our Water Team guided by our Project Technical Leads and Principal Civil Engineers. You will have the opportunity to work throughout the project lifecycle on projects involving wastewater infrastructure and sewerage, treated water storage and transmission mains, potable and wastewater treatment, sustainable drainage systems and bioresources, all within the backdrop of Scottish Water's ambitious net zero carbon targets. You will also play a role in the mentoring and development of more junior engineers within the team.

You'll have a degree in Civil Engineering (or related subject) and be working toward Chartered status with a relevant professional body such as ICE or CIWEM.

You will also have a passion for the Water and Environment sector, with experience of delivering community focused projects and working collaboratively with project teams to develop innovative solutions. This experience will have been achieved in wastewater infrastructure, including the delivery of sewer flooding and pollution projects, ideally with a focus on Sustainable Urban Drainage and Surface Water Management.

Finally, you will have experience of working in a client facing role, leading client engagement and collaboration on a regular basis.
