The Opportunity
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 fueled rapid growth, and we are eager to hear from experienced Senior Principal Civil Engineers with hydropower or pumped‑storage experience. 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.
Key Responsibilities
* Collaborate with project managers, technical leaders, design engineers, and clients to achieve positive project outcomes.

Ideally you will have significant civil engineering experience and skills in the dams and hydro sector or 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 preparing designs for both end‑user clients and D&B contractors.
