Application Deadline: Recruitment is ongoing. Please apply as soon as possible as the advert may close once we have sufficient applicants.

We have an opportunity for a Degree Apprentice (Level 6) Civil Engineer to join our Apprentice Programme in our Civil Engineering team based in Exeter.

Join Stantec's award-winning Water division and kick-start your career where innovation meets world-class infrastructure. We’re not just moving water; we’re designing critical, sustainable solutions for climate resilience, net zero targets, and ensuring millions of people have access to clean, safe water. This is your chance to gain an invaluable qualification and make a real, tangible impact from day one.

You will be joining a diverse and highly skilled team of Water Engineers and Modellers who are solving some of the industry’s toughest challenges. This role is a true blend of technical learning and real-world delivery.

You will learn to:

• Dive into the hands-on world of Civil Engineering design. You’ll be producing detailed drawings and technical models for crucial infrastructure projects, including state-of-the-art clean and wastewater treatment works, high-capacity pumping stations, and resilient pipeline networks.
• You'll be trained to master powerful industry software such as Computer Aided Design (CAD), especially AutoCAD Civil 3D, and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to accurately map, model, and visualize solutions.
• Contribute to innovative and sustainable solutions—from concept to delivery—that reduce our environmental impact and future-proof our water supplies. This could involve pioneering flood risk reduction schemes or assisting with Nature-based Solutions.
• You’ll assist Senior Engineers across the entire project lifecycle, working closely with multidisciplinary experts, including Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, to ensure that we are always delivering the most innovative and efficient solution for our clients.

Our apprenticeships allow you to learn whilst you earn as you study for an academic qualification. You’ll get the chance to expand your knowledge by attending either Coventry or Exeter University on block release, gaining a Level 6 degree in Civil Engineering.
