This is a fantastic opportunity for a Senior / Principal Civil Engineer to join a thriving group with a proven track record of delivering innovative projects across the South-East and beyond. Our Reading team plays a crucial role in our regional delivery, and we can offer hybrid and flexible working options to ensure you enjoy a work-life balance that suits you.
- You'll have the chance to work on a diverse range of projects, contributing to significant developments across the region and beyond.
- As well as leading our own projects, you'll collaborate closely with our building, environmental, and transport colleagues to deliver holistic solutions.
As a Senior / Principal Civil Engineer, you'll join a close-knit team where you'll have the opportunity to lead and mentor our junior engineers and technicians. You'll take responsibility for leading the technical delivery and approval of projects, as well as reviewing the work produced by our team.
- You'll play a key part in delivering high-quality design projects on time and within budget, working closely with our clients to influence the development of infrastructure schemes in the region.
- As we continue to grow, you'll find ample opportunities to progress and develop your own career within Stantec.
About You
- You'll be an MEng/BEng qualified.
- You're a tactical thinker focused on achieving coordinated solutions and effective at communicating with both internal and external parties (e.g., utility companies, drainage authorities, highway authorities).
- Ideally, you'll have expertise in highway and drainage infrastructure design to deliver multi-disciplinary projects across their entire lifecycle – from concept and planning through to detailed design and delivery.
- You'll have a proven record of delivering projects closely with clients across various technical disciplines and experience mentoring and managing the workload of junior team members.
- Skills with Civils 3D, InfoDrainage, and utility coordination are advantageous.
- Crucially, you'll bring a passion and experience for delivering quality infrastructure design solutions and managing processes with regulators and local authorities.
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.
