Your role:

We are looking for a Graduate Mechanical Engineer to be based in Exeter, joining our 2025 Graduate Programme.

As part of our collaborative design team whose focus is on delivering innovative solutions to water and wastewater treatment, pumping stations and hydraulic systems, you will contribute to the design and delivery of complex engineering projects, particularly on pump hydraulics, valve selection, piping systems and related equipment. You will be involved in the whole project lifecycle, from front end engineering design through to detailed design, installation and construction support.

Our project portfolio spans across the UK, with a strong focus on serving local water frameworks.

2. A Collaborator: You’ll love to work effectively with lots of different people at different levels, all inputting their part towards a shared goal.
3. A Planner: Organising and managing your own activities, dealing effectively with multiple priorities with a structured approach.
4. An Adapter: Able to remain calm in new situations, comfortably switching between a variety of dynamic and exciting tasks.
5. A Multi-Tasker: Thinking about more than one task at a time, while still having an eye for detail.
6. A Problem-Solver: You’ll love to give your thoughts based on what you see, being unafraid to challenge conventional thinking.

Please note, we ask our graduates to come into the office 4 days per week, to ensure that you receive sufficient time with your team and receive the appropriate level of support.

What we can offer you:

• A competitive salary
• Private medical insurance
• A range of benefits, including holiday buy and sell, group income protection and life assurance
• Permanent employment contract to demonstrate our commitment to your long-term career at Stantec
• Professional progression plan, supporting you to gain professional chartership
• A supportive and collaborative team environment and Early Careers peer group and wider ERG network

Applicants must have an unconditional right to live and work in the UK for an indefinite period without limitation.
