The Opportunity
Join a leading consultancy shaping sustainable, resilient solutions for communities across the UK and beyond. At Stantec, we are tackling urgent climate, environmental, and efficiency challenges by delivering across the water and wastewater sectors. We work with major clients on some of the most impactful and ambitious water projects in the industry, enabling sustainable development and helping communities adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change.
As part of our continued growth, we are seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our Water team in the South of England, based in Brighton, Southampton, Ashford or King's Hill. With hybrid working options and access to offices across the South, you’ll enjoy the flexibility of home and office working within a supportive, friendly, and highly professional MEICA team.
In this role, you will contribute across the full project life cycle, from Front-End Engineering Design through detailed design, installation, and construction support. You will also have opportunities to provide specialist consultancy input on internal and client-driven projects, both in the UK and internationally. You’ll take a lead on challenging and meaningful engineering work within a collaborative environment where your expertise truly matters.
We are committed to your development: all our Electrical Engineers receive comprehensive support toward chartership and any other career goals they wish to pursue. From the moment you join, you will be welcomed into a team that values growth, innovation, and the positive impact our work has on communities worldwide.

About You
You are an experienced electrical engineer with a strong track record of leading teams to deliver complex, high-quality outputs, from single-line diagrams and control system architectures to MCC datasheets, load schedules, block cable diagrams and network infrastructure diagrams. You're comfortable contributing to collaborative design deliverables such as GA drawings, 3D models and P&ID diagrams, and you bring the technical authority to act as a specialist others turn to for guidance.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You've coordinated multidisciplinary designs before and know how to manage interfaces across teams without losing sight of the bigger picture. Working alongside project managers, fellow engineers, JV partners and clients comes naturally to you, as does preparing and reviewing technical specifications, control philosophies, schedules and reports. You're equally at home carrying out technical reviews of bids and subcontractor designs, and you're willing to provide hands-on engineering support on site when a project calls for it.
Just as important is the way you work with the people around you. You take your responsibility to mentor and develop junior engineers seriously, and you understand that managing budgets, schedules and quality requirements is as much a part of the role as the engineering itself.
You'll hold a degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, and bring relevant experience from the water, energy, infrastructure or environmental sectors, or a field where the engineering challenges are equally complex.
