Stantec's continued success in delivering for the UK's leading utility providers and major infrastructure developers has created an exciting opportunity for a Project Planner to join our growing Major Projects Delivery team.

This is more than a job; it's a chance to make a real impact on your community. By helping to deliver critical environmental and infrastructure improvements, you'll play a key role in shaping a sustainable future.

We are looking for an experienced planner to collaborate with a national team, taking on a variety of projects, primarily within water sector Design & Construction (D&C). As a Project Planner, you will be instrumental in all project phases-from pre-construction and design to final delivery. You'll be responsible for developing and maintaining detailed project schedules, tracking progress, and proactively identifying and mitigating risks to ensure projects are delivered on time and on budget.

Within the region, you'll have the opportunity to work on Yorkshire Water's Storm Overflow Alliance, United Utilities' Design Development Partnership and Northumbrian Water's Strategic Technical Partnership. The role can be based from any of our offices in the region, including Leeds, Manchester, Warrington, Newcastle, Edinburgh or Glasgow.

You will be joining a collaborative, supportive team, working closely with project managers, engineers, and other stakeholders. At Stantec, we are committed to our people. With ambitious growth plans, your career trajectory will be supported by a wealth of development opportunities across our diverse business, extending beyond the water sector.

You will be highly skilled in managing complex projects & programmes using Primavera P6 and have the ability to lead programmes autonomously providing value through consulting.

  • Experience managing change within D&C in P6 in accordance with the contract and client requirements
  • Solid understanding of D&C sequencing and interfaces
  • Familiarity with NEC 3 and NEC 4 contracts
  • Previous experience in the water sector is beneficial but not essential
