Description
The Opportunity
As a Project Manager at Stantec, you will play a pivotal role in delivering complex, multi-disciplinary water sector projects across all stages of the project lifecycle. You’ll work closely with both internal teams and external stakeholders to ensure that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
This role is particularly well suited to individuals who thrive in collaborative environments and are committed to delivering excellent client service. The position can be based at our offices in London or High Wycombe.
In this role, you will lead the planning, execution, and delivery of a diverse portfolio of water sector projects, ensuring they align with client expectations and adhere to Stantec’s Project Management Framework.

A key part of your responsibilities will include identifying and mitigating risks early, addressing issues proactively to keep projects on track.
You will also manage project budgets, schedules, and resources to ensure both financial and operational targets are met. Regular reporting will be required, and you’ll prepare and present updates and documentation to a range of internal and external audiences.
Supporting the development of junior team members through coaching and mentoring is also an important aspect of the role, contributing to the growth and strength of our wider Project Management community. Throughout all project activities, you will be expected to uphold and promote compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards.
