The Opportunity
At Stantec, we are excited about our ongoing growth, following a number of successful frameworks bids across the water industry, and at the start of the biggest AMP ever, we are expanding our amazing engineering teams across the country.
In the Northwest, we are delighted to have been appointed to United Utilities’ £269 million Design Development Partners Framework for AMP 8. We have also been selected on Yorkshire Water’s Storm Overflow Alliance, to deliver their AMP8 capital investment programme.
As part of these frameworks, we will deliver solutions from concept, through outline design and on to detailed design for projects to reduce spills from Combined Sewer Overflows. We also continue to support our clients across a large range of projects in their Clean/Waste Infrastructure and Non-Infrastructure programmes.
These partnerships afford us the opportunity to continue delivering cutting edge designs which can meet the complex challenges facing the water industry.
In order to continue providing our clients with our expert service, we are looking to recruit a Senior Civil Engineer into either our Manchester city centre or Warrington (Birchwood) teams. 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.
