The Opportunity
Following a number of successful frameworks bids across the water industry, and in preparation for the biggest AMP ever, we are expanding our amazing engineering teams across the country.
In Leeds, we are excited to have been selected on Yorkshire Water’s Storm Overflow Alliance, to deliver their AMP8 capital investment programme. As part of this exciting new delivery vehicle, we will deliver both outline and detailed design for projects to reduce spills from Combined Sewer Overflows. We will also continue to support Yorkshire Water as their Strategic Planning Partner throughout AMP8, providing outline design and strategic consultancy services to a large range of projects across their Clean/Waste Infrastructure and Non-Infrastructure programmes.
This partnership affords us the opportunity to continue delivering cutting edge designs which can meet the complex challenges facing the water industry. This will drive us to continue innovating in order to deliver solutions which make a real difference in terms of carbon reduction, sustainability and serving our local communities.
In order to continue providing our clients with our expert service, we are looking to recruit a Principal Civil Engineer into our team in Leeds city centre – just a short walk from the train station! You will become part of a UK wide team, redefining our landscape with sustainability, the environment and the communities we serve at the heart of everything we do.
As a Principal Civil Engineer, you will work across the entire project lifecycle in asset planning, strategy, concept design, outline design & detailed design. You’ll take on responsibility for the leadership & mentoring of Engineers in the team, and work alongside our overall project design leads to ensure successful project delivery. You will also have access to Stantec’s world-class expertise to help you deliver leading edge design, whilst supporting & mentoring our more junior engineers.
