The Opportunity

Build the future of water infrastructure with Stantec.

As we continue to support our clients through the biggest AMP cycle to date, Stantec is looking for a Principal Electrical Engineer to lead EICA design services across the South of England. Whether you are based in Brighton, Ashford, Kings Hill, or Southampton, you will join a team dedicated to solving the most urgent climate and efficiency challenges facing our water networks today.

The Role

This isn't just about design; it’s about multidisciplinary collaboration. You will lead projects through their entire lifecycle—from initial optioneering and feasibility studies to detailed design and site investigations. Working alongside Project Managers and stakeholders, you’ll be the technical heartbeat of our EICA delivery, ensuring our solutions are sustainable, innovative, and community-focused.

As a senior member of the team, you’ll also play a vital role in mentoring the next generation of engineers, fostering an environment of growth and technical excellence.

About You

You will be a Chartered or Incorporated Electrical Engineer with a deep background in EICA design. You thrive in the details, whether you’re developing Single Line Diagrams and control philosophies or ensuring compliance with DSEAR requirements.

You will have extensive experience of producing technical designs within the water industry, and be a confident communicator, ready to lead technical workshops, HAZOPs, and client presentations with ease.

We are undergoing a period of exciting growth, and we have a structured path for your career progression. Join us, and become an integral part of an experienced and ambitious team that provides the platform and support for you to make a lasting national impact.
