Your engineering expertise belongs in water.

If you're a Mechanical Engineer who knows your way around pumping or process systems, there's never been a better time to bring those skills into the water industry.

Stantec is growing its UK water teams and actively looking for mechanical engineers ready to make the move. The sector is in the middle of record investment, with a committed pipeline of work stretching the next 5 to 10 years, so the opportunity is real, and it's sustained.

You'd be stepping into a sector tackling some of the most pressing infrastructure challenges of our time: upgrading pumping stations, designing resilient water and wastewater treatment solutions and building infrastructure that communities will depend on for generations. The kind of problems that keep you genuinely engaged.

You'd be joining well-respected teams, working on projects with real impact and with the scale and variety of what we deliver, there's serious room to grow your career in a direction that matters.

What we offer

About you

You'll be degree-qualified (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, ideally Chartered or working towards it. You'll have solid experience working with pumps, pressure systems, or fluid-based infrastructure, whether that's been in food, utilities, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, building services, or another sector entirely.

You're comfortable taking projects from feasibility through to detailed design, working across disciplines, and delivering quality work on time. Water industry experience isn't required - your transferable skills are what we're interested in.
