Stantec Senior Water Resource Planner in Reading, United Kingdom

Find your focus, grow with us, and be a part of the solution to the water challenges we face in the future. How will you make a difference?

Do you recognise water's vital role in human health, the environment and the economy? Are you aware of the significant challenges we face providing water in a world of changing climate, improving standards of sustainability and population growth? If you want to be part of a team that is at the forefront of building a resilient and sustainable water supply for both the UK and our international clients, then we would be interested to hear from you!

Stantec is a top-tier global consultancy that was named the 'Best Place to Work' at the 2024 New Civil Engineer (NCE) Awards. We have a reputation for providing innovative water supply solutions, as well as environmental and regulatory services, for a range of public and private sector clients in the UK. We have ambitious growth targets in the water resources planning market and are seeking enthusiastic people with extensive experience in the water industry to play central roles in delivering our workload.

We have opportunities to join our water resources planning team at numerous locations across the UK (including Birmingham, Redditch, High Wycombe, Reading and Shrewsbury - other office locations could be considered) along with opportunities to join collaborative projects with global Stantec teams.

About this opportunity

It's an exciting time to be involved in water resources in the UK. In recognition of the considerable future challenges, the industry regulator Ofwat has set out the most significant investment in infrastructure since privatisation, with £4 billion to boost water supply and £2 billion for nature-based solutions in the recently published draft determination for the period 2025-30. This includes funding for significant solutions to ensure long-term national resilience, security of supply for the future and lowering demand through unprecedented leakage reduction and smart meter installation programmes.

Stantec's engagement with water resources planning initiatives across the UK and Ireland has grown significantly since 2020. This has included working on several Strategic Resource Option (SRO) investigations in England and Wales, Water Resource Management Plans (WRMPs), Drought Plans, and WINEP investigations. Stantec will continue to focus on this in 2024 and beyond, helping water companies deliver their AMP8 schemes and plan for the future.
