Civil Engineer (Experienced or Senior Engineer) - Hydropower and Dams

Let’s help shape the Future of Hydropower and Dams! Stantec is at the forefront of some of the world’s most ambitious and innovative dams and hydro projects. Our continued success has fuelled rapid growth, and as such we are interested in hearing from you if you are an experienced Civil Engineer with Hydropower or Pumped Storage experience to discuss our continued growth and opportunities to join our dynamic team.

You will be instrumental in the design and development of cutting-edge dams, hydropower, and pumped storage hydro solutions. Based in any of our UK offices, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a multidisciplinary team working on diverse projects such as Coire Glas in Scotland, Koysha in Ethiopia, and Dinorwig in Wales. You will also support UK water companies with inspections, remediation, and the development of new dams and reservoirs.

We have developed a strong reputation within the sector as a leading, progressive and forward-thinking consultancy, focused on delivering high quality outputs to ensure the client achieves their outcomes and business benefits.

• Collaborate with project managers, technical leaders, design engineers, and clients to achieve positive project outcomes.
• Engage in traditional advisory roles, Owner’s Engineer duties, client-facing concept design, contractor-facing detailed design, remediation, troubleshooting, installation support, and Lender’s Engineer/insurance/due diligence support.

This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer who is passionate about sustainable energy and eager to make a significant impact in the industry.

You will be an experienced Civil Engineer who is, ideally, Chartered or Incorporated with the ICE or working towards this, with experience in the civil design of at least one of the following:

• Dams (or dam components)
• Hydro and/or pumped storage hydro schemes
• Design and assessment of complex hydraulic structures (channels, culverts, bridges, spillways, stilling basin).

Ideally you will be able to demonstrate civil engineering experience and skills in the dams and hydro sector. However, we are keen to hear from you if you have aligned water and energy sector experience, such as the design of hydraulic structures. You will have a good understanding of how the various disciplines within the sector come together to create an integrated solution.

You will be experienced in producing technical specifications, designs, and reports, integrating closely with associated disciplines including structures, geotechnical and M&E and, ideally, with experience in preparing designs for both end user clients and D&B contractors. You should be comfortable working within a full 3D environment using appropriate tools to sketch and review models and within a common data environment.

Most importantly, you will embody and support our values of client focus, designing with community in mind, collaboration and service excellence.

• Our People Culture: We’re a close knit team and very proud of our friendly and collaborative environment.
• Great Benefits: Competitive salary, pension plan, holidays, free private medical insurance, discounted gym membership and lots more.
• Flexible working arrangements 3 days in, 2 days remote.
• Great Projects in all of our sectors across the UK&I.
• Industry leading training and development as well as paid for professional subscriptions.
