Offer description

Overview

Join Stantec in a strategically pivotal role within our expanding Water Business. As a Senior Principal Electrical Engineer, you will serve as a cornerstone of our technical leadership, driving the delivery of essential infrastructure across the North of England. With the AMP8 regulatory cycle ushering in unprecedented investment and innovation, this is your opportunity to shape the future of major water frameworks, including our key partnership with Northumbrian Water. Based in our Quayside office in Newcastle, you will be the EICA authority for the local delivery team, ensuring technical excellence across a diverse portfolio of major projects. This is a high-visibility leadership position with the potential to take on regional leadership of the discipline.


Responsibilities

* Strategic Technical Leadership: Lead the EICA design process from initial optioneering and feasibility through to detailed design and commissioning. You will take ownership of the EICA solutions to meet the client and project needs.
* Team Management & Mentorship: Lead and inspire a team of engineers, responsible for the professional and technical growth of your team, fostering a culture of technical excellence and high performance through management and mentoring.
* Discipline Strategy: Act as a key figure in the regional EICA discipline, influencing design standards and ensuring outputs such as Single Line Diagrams, Network Architectures, and technical specifications are integrated to the client and project needs.
* Client & Stakeholder Influence: Serve as a trusted EICA advisor to clients including Northumbrian Water and external contractors, with opportunities to work on schemes nationally. Translate complex technical concepts into strategic project advantages during high-level design discussions.
* Technical Expertise: A proven track record in EICA engineering design, specifically in developing control philosophies, technical specifications, and constructible solutions for large-scale infrastructure.
* Leadership Capability: Demonstrated experience in managing engineering teams and a commitment to mentoring the next generation of technical talent.
* Sector Background: While deep experience in the Water sector is advantageous, we welcome leaders from energy, Oil and Gas, heavy infrastructure, or environmental engineering who possess transferable technical and leadership skills to the regulated utility environment.
