Do you have a passion for making a difference within the community by applying your professional expertise to deliver sustainable projects that leave a lasting impression? 

Communities are fundamental. Whether around the corner or across the globe, they provide a foundation, a sense of place and belonging. That's why at Stantec, we design with community in mind.

We are looking for motivated professionals to step into the exciting and challenging role of Civil Engineer for our Water Infrastructure projects based in our Sydney office. We have a significant workload and have secured highly sought after and challenging projects.

The opportunity:

We are looking for a driven civil structural graduate to join our water engineering team based in our Sydney office. You will join a team that works on water engineering projects, not only locally, but across Australia and the wider Asia Pacific region. You will work with a diverse client set from local government, industry, and private development. As a graduate, with 0 to 3 years of work experience, you will have many opportunities available to you by joining us at Stantec, including:

  • Inclusion in an accredited 3-year graduate development program
  • A global young professionals’ network
  • Firm-wide online specialist knowledge groups
  • Access to global industry leaders through our Practice Leader network
  • Ability to work on projects across geographies
  • Taking your skills overseas via a young professional’s exchange
  • Flexible working environments and excellent employee benefits
  • Mentoring, technical support and encouragement

It couldn't be easier beginning your career in engineering with Stantec. As an Engineers Australia Partner, we'll pay your membership fees and assist you along the path to registration. You'll have the chance to work on leading-edge projects, fully supported by our comprehensive graduate development program.

About you:

  • Have either work experience, or an interest in developing, water engineering technical expertise related to water supply and sewer networks, water and wastewater treatment plants, and bulk water supply for regional and urban water authorities. The role will see you gaining experience in the water network and infrastructure master planning through to concept & detailed design.
  • You will be keen to develop experience in dealing with a range of clients and stakeholders including local authorities, government bodies and commercial companies.
  • In this exciting position, your own self-management skills will be as important as your technical and project management ones. You will need to be able to prioritize workloads whilst maintaining strong and trusting working relationships with our clients and colleagues both locally and across the broader Stantec team.
  • You will be able to work with remote teams to deliver projects to local clients.
  • Flexibility is required as you could be asked to work from other offices at times including client secondments.
  • Willingness to work towards chartership is required.
  • Previous civil/ structural design on road drainage and earth is an advantage but not essential

What we offer:

Along with a competitive salary, we offer many other benefits to ensure your professional development & wellbeing is ongoing.

  • Flexible Working Arrangements including purchasing up to 4 weeks of additional leave.
  • Learning and Talent Development Programs include Global programmes, online learning, and on-the-job learning.
  • Mentoring for your own development and the opportunity to mentor others.
  • Professional Memberships.
  • Salary Continuance Insurance (SCI).
  • Service Recognition Awards.
  • Employee Assistance Program.

The Stantec community unites approximately 25,000 employees working in over 400 locations across six continents. We collaborate across disciplines and industries to bring water, transport, and infrastructure projects to life. Our work from initial project concept and planning through design, construction and commissioning is built on a nearly 200-year history. So, when we take on a project, we see the opportunity to make a lasting connection with the people and places where we live and work.

Pros and cons of working at Stantec Australia

Pros

  • The best things about working at my company are the culture and the level of support that I receive from colleagues, and the Graduate program that Stantec offers.

  • Working at Stantec provides me with various opportunities to learn and grow with multidisciplinary teams.

  • The culture in the office is inclusive and diverse. There are many cultural events held in the office, building a great base for staff to have fun and be social.

  • Good team; I like the work that I do, and I have reasonable working hours as a grad, absorbing a lot of experience and knowledge early in my career.

  • It is not just about finishing the workload at the end of the day but also focusing on other development such as leadership and public speaking by joining DPG and Toastmasters.

Cons

    • The situation of my team overall is not good, and they have limited work to provide to graduates.

    • WFH culture has gotten more inflexible. And the associated annoyance of working in consultancy is filling out timesheets

    • Lack of recognition for work that I do and being overlooked for opportunities that other grads get.

    • I would like to work on different disciplines. For example, someone from the transport team working with the traffic or Geotech people to do some of their day-to-day work.

    • The salary for this position is ok but not ideal, especially if you are living in a big city like Sydney.
