Wastewater treatment sits at the intersection of engineering, environmental responsibility and public health, and right now the pressure on the industry to do things better has never been greater. Tighter standards, ageing infrastructure, and the ambition to genuinely improve the health of our rivers mean that the engineers working in this space have a real opportunity to shape outcomes that matter.
At Stantec, we're doing exactly that. Our wastewater process engineering practice in the North East is embedded in some of the most significant programmes in the UK water sector, working closely with Northumbrian Water and key delivery partners. We're looking for a Senior / Principal Process Engineer to join our Newcastle team - someone ready to take on meaningful technical responsibility and grow into one of the next generation of leaders in this field.
This role sits at the heart of our North East process engineering community, a team of engineers supported by internationally recognised industry experts who are genuinely invested in developing the people around them. The majority of the work centres on optioneering through to outline design, though detailed design experience is warmly welcomed.
Beyond Northumbrian Water, our integrated process community gives you scope to work with every other major utility across the UK, meaning your portfolio will be varied, your network will grow, and no two years will look the same. You'll also play an active part in guiding junior engineers as they develop, supported in turn by the expertise of the senior specialists around you.
The solutions you develop here will influence how wastewater is treated across the North East for decades to come. Whether you're helping to reduce storm overflow spills into rivers, improving the quality of treated effluent, or developing lower carbon treatment processes that challenge what the industry considers "standard"
