Opportunity

Stantec is at the heart of AMP8 delivery. Having secured major water frameworks across the UK & Ireland, we are actively supporting clients like Welsh Water and South West Water, alongside key appointments in the North, including the United Utilities specialist modelling framework.

We are looking for an ambitious Senior / Principal Urban Drainage Modeller to join our team in Cardiff, Bristol, or Exeter.

As a critical part of our extensive, interdisciplinary UK and Pune team, you will:

  • Lead technical delivery for complex wastewater modelling projects.
  • Develop and implement solutions across Stormwater Overflows, Water Quality Management, Flood Investigations, and more.
  • Mentor and support our junior modellers, helping to build the next generation of experts.
  • Collaborate with specialist teams to drive new tools and procedures in Wastewater Modelling.

Our work centres on sustainable urban drainage, placing environmental commitments and community impact at the core of the wider water cycle.

About You

  • Degree qualified (or equivalent) in Civil Engineering or a relevant field.
  • Membership in an industry institution (e.g., ICE, CIWEM).
  • Proven, hands-on experience in urban drainage, with a full working knowledge of InfoWorks ICM.
  • Demonstrable experience providing technical leadership and staff mentorship.

If you thrive on challenge, value client excellence, and want to make a tangible impact during this critical period of investment, we want to hear from you.

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.
