The Opportunity
Clean, safe drinking water is something most of us take for granted, but behind every tap is a complex network of pipes, pumps and infrastructure that has to perform reliably, every single day. At Stantec, we work to keep those networks running, plan improvements that will serve communities for decades, and apply cutting‑edge modelling to some of the most challenging problems in the UK water sector.
We are looking for a Water Networks Modeller to join our clean water team, open to candidates based across a number of our UK offices with hybrid working available. If you have built solid foundations in hydraulic modelling and are ready to take on more complex projects and greater technical responsibility, this could be the right next step.
About the Role
In this role you will work on projects that directly support the planning, optimisation, and improvement of water distribution networks for clients across the sector. You will calibrate models, analyse network performance, and develop practical solutions to challenges such as pressure management, leakage reduction, and asset performance. You will work closely with senior and principal modellers, contribute to project delivery and build your expertise, and collaborate across disciplines to connect your work with digital services, asset management, and wider hydraulic analysis.
Your Impact
The networks you model serve real communities, and the analysis you carry out informs investment decisions, shapes infrastructure planning, and helps ensure that water reaches people reliably and efficiently. In a sector undergoing significant transformation with large investment programmes underway and growing pressure to reduce leakage and improve resilience, the technical work done by modellers like you has a direct bearing on outcomes that matter.
About You
You have a degree in a relevant discipline and practical experience working in water networks. You are comfortable with hydraulic modelling software such as InfoWorks WS Pro, InfoWater, SynerGi or similar, and you bring strong data analysis skills to your work. You are eager to grow, ready to take on projects where your judgement and technical input truly contribute, and if you are working toward chartership with a relevant professional body, we will support you through a structured progression plan and mentorship of experienced colleagues.
