Design Manager (Water Industry) role at Stantec
The Opportunity
As we continue with our growth plans across the UK & Ireland, we have opportunities for Design Managers to get involved in the exciting AMP 8 developments across the Midlands & South West. Multiple major framework wins reinforce our pipeline of work and provide opportunities to engage in projects across feasibility, detailed design, and build phases. In the region, these appointments include Welsh Water's Engineering Consultancy Framework, Southern Water's Professional Services Framework and South West Water's Engineering Consultancy Framework.
You will lead our strong multi-disciplinary Water team, delivering diverse and challenging projects for a range of Water clients. This will involve working closely with Project Managers to manage the technical team and take responsibility for the delivery, efficiency, and quality of all technical output. You will have the opportunity to work with some of the UK water industry’s largest clients, delivering designs that shape how we obtain, treat, and distribute water for local communities using innovative and sustainable methods.
Your wellbeing is important to us – we offer a hybrid way of working with options for offices around the UK & Ireland or home working. We will also support you in gaining additional qualifications or accreditations to help advance your career.
About You
We are interested in speaking with degree-educated Design Managers, ideally with experience delivering projects in the water industry. You will be skilled in leading multidisciplinary design teams to ensure successful project delivery, driving innovation and collaboration in your work. A strong passion for the water and environment sector with a solid understanding of design and construction is essential. Membership to a relevant engineering institution (e.g., ICE) and experience within other regulatory sectors would be beneficial, though not essential.
