Job Description

Following the historic announcement that Stantec has been named as a Primary Designer for the multibillion-pound Scottish Water Enterprise, we are embarking on the largest investment program in Scottish Water's history. This landmark partnership, which potentially extends to 2039, places Stantec at the heart of modernising Scotland's water and wastewater networks.

This major framework success anchors our exceptional performance across the UK for the AMP8 regulatory cycle, where we have secured exciting new projects wins and solidified our standing as the number 1 design consultancy in the regulated water sector.

To support this unprecedented win, our expanding project pipeline, and our commitment to serving communities across the entirety of Scotland, our brand-new Inverness hub is opening its doors in the coming weeks.

We are inviting Expressions of Interest from passionate professionals who want to lead the delivery of low-carbon, nature-based solutions, support regional development, and help protect the unique natural environment of the Highlands and Islands.

Driving Local Impact with Global Expertise

As a key partner to Scottish Water, Stantec is tackling the nation's most pressing challenges: climate change, water resilience, and the transition to a circular economy. In our new Inverness office, you'll find a culture that blends global expertise with a true "community-first" mindset.

Our teams support the full project lifecycle—from strategy and digital twinning to detailed design and asset delivery—offering technically rewarding careers with a tangible legacy across Scotland.

We are keen to hear from professionals at all levels who are interested in basing themselves in Inverness across the following disciplines:

Civil Engineering
Mechanical & Electrical Engineering
Process Engineering (Water & Wastewater Treatment)
Design Management
Digital Design (CAD & BIM)
Urban Drainage & Hydraulic Modelling

Data and Digital Solutions
Advisory Services
