Stantec
Date: 7 hours ago
City: Leeds
Contract type: Full time

The Opportunity
With Every Community, Stantec Redefines What’s Possible.
Application Deadline: Recruitment is ongoing. Please apply as soon as possible as the advert may close once we have sufficient applicants.
Your Role
We have an opportunity for a Degree Apprentice (Level 6) Civil Engineer to join our Apprentice Programme in our Civil Engineering team based in Leeds.
Water is one of our most precious natural assets, and you have the chance to be instrumental in protecting and improving this vital resource. This isn't just an engineering job; it's a mission to deliver innovative, sustainable solutions that directly address the climate emergency and significantly reduce our environmental impact. If you're passionate about sustainability and want your work to make a real-world difference, this is the perfect opportunity.
You will work within a diverse and highly skilled team, where your efforts will directly support critical infrastructure from treatment works and pumping stations to essential pipelines. Your day-to-day work will be dynamic and fulfilling: you will solve complex engineering problems and assist Senior Engineers throughout the entire project lifecycle; design and develop solutions by performing engineering calculations, using advanced design software and tools, and producing high-quality drawings, reports, and presentations; and innovate to reduce our environmental impact and provide sustainable solutions that support our clients' most pressing needs. You’ll be working within a supportive and friendly project environment, gaining invaluable experience and guidance from our highly skilled Senior Civil Engineers and Hydraulic Network Modellers. You’ll also learn how to use relevant industry software and programs, including Computer Aided Design (CAD), to produce infrastructure drawings that develop a better way of how we obtain, clean, and distribute water for our communities.
Your role will place you on the cutting edge of water management, contributing to projects that truly matter. As part of our water team, you will be part of project teams working on managing water resources and reservoirs, producing high-quality drinking water for public supply, distributing water for our communities, protecting the natural environment from pollution, and alleviating flooding for local communities.
This apprenticeship will enable you to learn whilst you earn as you study for an academic qualification. You will gain a Level 6 BEng Civil Engineering degree in conjunction with one of the following Training Providers, Coventry University (block release), or Leeds Beckett University (day release). This will be discussed further during the recruitment process.
By submitting your application, you are confirming that your predicted grades at least meet the minimum defined entry requirements stated on this advertisement and that you are comfortable with the Training Provider options (which may include both day and block release options) also listed.
