The Opportunity

Stantec are going through an exciting time with significant growth in our water sector and we are currently seeking a Senior or Principal Structural Engineer that may be interested in joining us in the South in the coming weeks and months.

As a member of our Structural Engineering team, you lead on the delivery of high-quality structural engineering projects across a variety of projects across sectors. In addition, you will be partner with our clients across the UK and will play a key role in exceeding their requirements through the technical delivery of projects.

You will report directly to our Specialist Structural Engineering Technical Lead; developing our structural knowledge and capability, and supporting internal opportunities in sectors beyond water and energy.

This role will be based in one of the following offices: London, Reading, High Wycombe, Redditch, Birmingham or Cambridge - with hybrid working between office and home anticipated.

In this role you will carry out structural engineering design for concrete, steel and masonry structures. You will also carry out structural inspections and produce accurate reports that define requirements for asset maintenance and modification to meet client and regulatory standards.

About You

In addition to previous structural design experience, you will have a good knowledge of civil and geotechnical engineering, and an awareness of other engineering disciplines sufficient to enable collaborative working across Stantec.

You will also have a good knowledge of construction, both temporary and permanent, and of the information requirements of construction teams as part of design & build projects.

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.
