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.

• 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.

• Flexibility is required as you could be asked to work from other offices at times including client secondments.
