The Opportunity

Our Advisory Services team sits at the heart of Stantec’s work across the UK energy sector, supporting clients as they deliver some of the largest and most complex capital investment programmes in the country. With continued growth across our Water, Energy and Transport portfolios, we now have an exciting opportunity for a consultant to join our team—ideally based in London, Birmingham, Glasgow or Edinburgh, with travel expected.

Stantec’s consultancy offering spans business, engineering, digital, project and programme management, bringing together people who thrive at the intersection of community, creativity and client relationships. We care deeply about the places we work—because they’re our communities too—and our long term commitment to clients gives us a unique ability to connect with projects on a personal level and help improve quality of life across the globe.

Our Advisory Group has a strong track record of delivering transformational services across major UK infrastructure programmes. As our client base continues to expand, this role offers the chance to contribute to high profile programmes while developing your own consulting career within a supportive, ambitious organisation.

The Role

As a consultant within our Advisory Services team, you will play a key role in supporting clients to build capability and deliver major investment programmes. Your work will span a broad range of programme and PMO activities, including:

  • Developing, implementing and managing PMO processes and systems
  • Supporting planning and scheduling, analysing financial, commercial, risk and performance data, and providing programme level assurance
  • Preparing financial and performance reports for senior management and boards
  • Managing stakeholder relationships across the PMO and wider organisation
  • Supporting benefits management throughout the project lifecycle
  • Coordinating governance and assurance activities
  • Working with the leadership team on internal initiatives, including resource planning, financial management, proposal development and business development

You will work closely with colleagues across our advisory frameworks, helping clients strengthen their capability to deliver large scale capital programmes. Our Advisory service line spans capability building, programme management, PMO services, engineering, sustainability consulting and technology systems—giving you the opportunity to explore different pathways and shape your own development.

As part of Stantec’s advisory community, you will have access to a wide range of training, networks and development opportunities to support your growth.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
