2023 Graduate Program - Engineers (Civil-Wastewater Planning) null

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

We care about the communities we serve—because they're our communities too. We're designers, engineers, scientists, and project managers, innovating together at the intersection of community, creativity, and client relationships. Balancing these priorities results in projects that advance the quality of life in communities across the globe.

Stantec is a global leader in the Water Infrastructure sector. We implement technically innovative water and wastewater solutions to manage and meet increasingly complex regulatory and quality standards while focusing on sustainable and cost-effective options. We provide a full suite of integrated water, wastewater, stormwater, solid waste and general civil, engineering and management advisory services to meet the needs of our clients using the latest innovative industry research and global experience.

The opportunity:

We are looking for a driven 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.
