The Opportunity

You’ll be part of our Exeter Water Civil team, joining a local team of around 15 civil engineering colleagues. You’ll also be connected to our wider national water and civil engineering discipline, giving you the chance to learn from experienced professionals across the business.

You’ll work on regulated water projects for a range of water companies, with a focus on local clients such as South West Water, Wessex Water and Welsh Water. There may also be opportunities to support wider water projects outside the local region, helping you build your knowledge and experience across different types of work.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the delivery of a wide range of water projects for regulated water clients.
  • Help prepare technical drawings, calculations, reports and health and safety documents.
  • Learn how survey scopes are developed and how they support project design.
  • Take part in site visits where appropriate, helping you understand how designs are developed in real-world environments.
  • Build your technical knowledge while working alongside experienced civil engineers and wider project teams.

At Stantec, we offer a high-energy environment that balances fully funded academic study with hands-on, real-world project experience. You will gain a Level 6BEng Civil Engineering degree in conjunction with our Training Provider(s). This will be discussed further during the recruitment process. For this role, training providers could include;

  • Coventry University (block release)
  • University of Exeter (block release)

To help you feel supported and connected during your apprenticeship, you’ll spend four days a week working from the office alongside your colleagues.
