Shape the Future of Water in the South

2026 is shaping up to be a significant year for Stantec’s Water business across the UK. A strong AMP8 pipeline and newly secured frameworks mean we’re growing our teams – and our Southampton office, alongside Brighton, Kings Hill and Ashford, is expanding.

We’re looking for water professionals who want to work on complex, high‑profile programmes that make a genuine difference. Water quality, environmental performance, resilience, and sustainable infrastructure – this is the work our South East teams deliver every day.

Currently, we are working on the following projects:

• Water Re‑Use & Recycling – sustainable closed‑loop systems for long‑term water security
• Major Transfer Pipelines – critical infrastructure at scale
• Storm Overflow Programme – large‑scale environmental protection with a focus on nature‑based solutions
• Bio‑Resources – turning waste into value through recovery and renewable energy
• Desalination – large‑scale treatment projects for climate‑resilient water sources

We’re keen to hear from experienced professionals across:

• Civil Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Design Management
• Process Engineering
• Urban Drainage Modelling
• Project Management
• Programme Management
• Ecology & Environmental Advisory / Planning

No live role that fits right now? Get in touch anyway. We’ll keep in contact and reach out when the right opportunity comes up.

Our South East teams are delivering projects of regional and national significance, backed by a pipeline that offers genuine long‑term stability. You’ll work across multiple stages of the project lifecycle, with the support of a collaborative local team and the resources of a global consultancy behind you.

Our teams provide effective and relevant solutions, translating our clients’ vision into valued consents, deliverable plans for projects and programmes, and efficient designs for delivery, based on technical excellence and deep market insights. We deal with today’s challenges, but also keep a fairer, better tomorrow in sight, looking at how we deliver clean growth, support radical changes in our economy and meet the needs of future communities.
