Are you ready to lead the future of water infrastructure? Stantec is a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, and we're looking for a visionary Project Director to join our award-winning Water Sector team.

We've been recognised as the "International Consulting Firm of the Year" and "Best Place to Work" at the 2024 New Civil Engineer Awards. Our success is built on a simple premise: we deliver complex, high-impact projects that make a real difference.

The role can sit across any of our offices within the region, including Cardiff, Bristol, Exeter, Birmingham, Redditch or Derby, with the opportunity to work on significant Strategic Resource Option (SRO) Projects and exciting water programmes such as Welsh Water’s and South West Water’s Engineering Consultancy Frameworks.

As a Project Director, you'll be a key part of our sector leadership structure. You'll report directly to the Regional Director whilst also having a matrix reporting line to the Major Projects Discipline and Market Area Director. You'll be a strategic and hands-on leader, guiding our Project Managers and teams to deliver large-scale projects and programmes.

About You

This role is for a project leader with a track record in delivering successful Major Projects within a multidisciplinary environment (preferably in the water sector). You will possess an in-depth understanding of design for construction and the commercial acumen to ensure successful financial outcomes.

As primary contact for our clients, you will also have the ability to effectively manage stakeholder relationships, whilst also being able to demonstrate exemplary HSSE management & wellbeing behaviour.

You will ideally hold Chartership status with a relevant institution.
