Are you a Project Manager looking for your next opportunity?

Thanks to our growing client relationships across the country, our teams are tackling an exciting range of projects across the regulated water industry. These opportunities are enabling us to continue our growth, and we are looking to appoint a Project Manager in the South of England.

This role can be based from our offices in London, Reading or High Wycombe, with hybrid working allowing for a great work-life balance.

About the Role

In this role, you will lead the planning, execution, and delivery of a diverse portfolio of water sector projects, ensuring they align with client expectations and adhere to Stantec's Project Management Framework.

You'll be responsible for building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders. A key part of your responsibilities will include identifying and mitigating risks early, addressing issues proactively to keep projects on track.

You will also manage project budgets, schedules, and resources to ensure both financial and operational targets are met. Regular reporting will be required, and you'll prepare and present updates and documentation to a range of internal and external audiences.

Your Impact

As a Project Manager at Stantec, you will play a pivotal role in delivering complex, multi-disciplinary water sector projects across all stages of the project lifecycle. You'll work closely with both internal teams and external stakeholders to ensure that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

About You
  • To be considered for this role, you must have experience in the Water industry and prior experience of project management is essential.
  • You will most likely have an industry recognised project management qualification such as the APM's Project Management Qualification (PMQ) or similar.
  • You will have experience of managing multiple deadlines and be able to demonstrate where you have been able to build successful working relationships with both internal and external stakeholders. You will have a track record of successful project management and be able to demonstrate where you have been proactive around risk management and mitigation.
  • Finally, you will embody our passion for innovation and client service, with ambitions to tackle a range of challenges as the team looks to continue its growth within the sector.

Please note that we are not offering Visa Sponsorship for this role and applicants must have an unconditional right to live and work in the UK for an indefinite period without limitation.

Why Join us?

  • We are driven to achieve: Named in the top 50 companies to work by Glassdoor 2025. Recognised by Corporate Knights as one of the world's top 10 most sustainable companies 2025. Named 'Best Place to Work' and 'International Consulting Firm of the Year' at the NCE Awards 2024.
  • We do what is right: Industry leading training and development as well as paid for professional subscriptions. A professional progression plan, supporting you to become chartered with ICE.
  • We are better together: A supportive and collaborative team environment and Early Careers peer group and wider ERG network (see more on our ERGs here: Stantec Employee Resource Groups)
  • Growth: We're on an exciting growth journey across the UK - we want you to be part of it!
  • Great Benefits: Competitive salary, bonus schemes, enhanced pension plan, annual leave with the option to buy/sell additional days, private medical insurance, group income protection & life assurance included as standard as well as discounted gym membership and lots more.
