Principal Process Engineer - Clean Water

The Opportunity

Are you an experienced Process Engineer with a preference for clean water projects and a passion for sustainable solutions? Join Stantec and help us tackle the urgent water resource and climate change challenges facing our communities! From preparing utilities for exceptionally low rainfall seasons in the North, to shaping the UK’s long‑term water supply resilience through water transfer, storage, and recycling projects in the South – our clean water process team are involved in exciting projects that really mean something for the communities we serve.

We are looking for a Principal Process Engineer to join our clean water team across a range of offices in the North of England. The opportunities we can offer span both AMP cycle and Strategic Resource Options schemes, and as we operate as an integrated national team, you’ll be able to work on projects across the UK with a primary focus on our clients in the North of England, Scotland, and Ireland. These projects could range from new treatment plant design to long‑term strategic resource schemes, or optimising existing assets to deploying source‑to‑tap solutions for emerging threats like PFAS. In terms of day‑to‑day activities, our engineers do everything from onsite test work to new system design and utility business plans support – there’s really something for everyone.

• Ideally Chartered with demonstrable experience working in a clean water process specialism (e.g., design, science or operation).
• Have experience in, or are looking to learn, on‑site testing techniques to help us improve existing asset performance (e.g., jar testing).
