Stantec is a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, and we're looking for a visionary Project Director to join our award-winning Water Sector team. This is more than a job; it's a chance to shape the industry and build a legacy.

We've been recognised as the "International Consulting Firm of the Year" and "Best Place to Work" at the 2024 New Civil Engineer Awards. Our success is built on a simple premise: we deliver complex, high-impact projects that make a real difference. Stantec’s AMP8 campaign has seen the company secure significant opportunities with most UK and Ireland Water Companies.

The role can sit across any of our offices within the region, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester or Warrington, with the opportunity to work on significant Strategic Resource Option (SRO) Projects and exciting water frameworks such as United Utilities Design Development Partnership, Yorkshire Water’s Storm Overflow Alliance and Northumbrian Water’s Strategic Technical Partnership.

Key Responsibilities

• Take overall responsibility for delivery and ensure successful project outcomes.
• Guide our Project Managers and teams to deliver large-scale projects and programmes.
• Develop our people and implement commercial and risk management strategies across our projects and programmes.

About You

This role is for a project leader with a track record in delivering successful Major Projects within a multidisciplinary environment (preferably in the water sector). You will possess an in-depth understanding of design for construction and the commercial acumen to ensure successful financial outcomes.

You will ideally hold Chartership status with a relevant institution and have the ability to effectively manage stakeholder relationships and demonstrate exemplary HSSE management & wellbeing behaviour.
