Principal Process Engineer - Clean Water

Stantec
Leeds
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 summers with exceptionally low rainfall 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.


We are a global organisation and are proactively pursuing "a one team" approach with our global colleagues.


What we're looking for:

  • Want to be part of the solutions to water catchment, resource scarcity, treatment and emerging pollutant challenges.
  • 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).
  • Enjoy working collaboratively in a team setting, and want to be part of a growing & nurturing UK and global team.
  • Are passionate about applying innovation along with industry best practice to deliver the best results for the water sector.

Why Join us?

  • Our People Culture: We're a close knit team and very proud of our friendly and collaborative environment
  • Awards: Stantec were awarded the International Consulting Firm of the Year and Best place to work - Large Consulting Firms at the 2024 NCE awards as well as being consistently recognised in the top 10 Corporate Knights most sustainable companies in the world.
  • Great Benefits: Competitive salary, pension plan, holidays, free private medical insurance, discounted gym membership and lots more.
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Great Projects in all of our sectors across the UK&I
  • Industry leading training and development as well as paid for professional subscriptions
