The Opportunity
Are you ready to lead the future of water infrastructure?
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. From feasibility studies and planning, to design for construction, construction management, operations and maintenance; we bring together the talent, expertise and innovation necessary to deliver successful project outcomes. Now, we need your skill and leadership to help drive our next phase of growth.
The role can sit across any of our offices within the region, including London, Cambridge, Brighton, Southampton, Ashford, Kings Hill, Reading, or High Wycombe, with the opportunity to work on significant Strategic Resource Option (SRO) Projects and exciting water frameworks such as Wessex Water’s Capital Delivery Partnership, Southern Water’s Professional Services Framework and Thames Water’s Asset Capital & Engineering Framework.
These SRO projects and large frameworks require experienced and skilled leaders to take overall responsibility for delivery and to ensure successful project outcomes. As a Project Director, you'll be a key part of our sector leadership structure. You'll report directly to the Regional Director whilst also having a matrix reporting line to the Major Projects Discipline and Market Area Director. You'll be a strategic and hands-on leader, guiding our Project Managers and teams to deliver large-scale projects and programmes, with a particular focus on those where we work with contractors, notably in the design & construction (D&C) environment.
We need Project Directors like you to support the incredible growth we're seeing in our Major Projects portfolio. Your in-depth experience of D&C will be critical in building our capability and capacity, whilst your proven leadership skills will help manage business risk.
You’ll also play a pivotal role in shaping Stantec's future. Working with the Major Projects Discipline & Market Area Director, you’ll help develop our people, whilst working with the Regional Leadership teams to implement commercial and risk management strategies across our projects and programmes. This is your chance to use your skills and entrepreneurial spirit to champion best practice, develop new services, and build a world-class project delivery offering.
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.
As primary contact for our clients, you will also have the ability to effectively manage stakeholder relationships, whilst also being able to demonstrate exemplary HSSE management & wellbeing behaviour.
You will ideally hold Chartership status with a relevant institution.
If you're passionate about leading, mentoring, and making a tangible impact, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
