Job Description

Ready to apply your expertise to the most urgent climate, environmental, and efficiency challenges facing our communities?


Join Stantec and step into a pivotal role within our growing Water Business, where your Electrical, Instrumentation, Control, and Automation (EICA) expertise will directly support the delivery of essential infrastructure across the South of England. With the current regulatory cycle (AMP8) driving significant investment and innovation, this is your opportunity to lead complex EICA design work that creates a tangible, positive impact.

The Challenge and Your Role

We are seeking a Senior / Principal Electrical Engineer to strengthen our EICA design capabilities. Based in our London, Reading, or High Wycombe offices, you will be a key contributor to multidisciplinary project delivery, taking ownership of the design process from initial optioneering and feasibility studies through to detailed design and commissioning support.


In this role, you will be responsible for leading the development of robust EICA solutions, encompassing the production of Single Line Diagrams, Block Cable Diagrams, and Network Infrastructure Diagrams. Collaboration is crucial: you will work seamlessly with Project Managers, Design Engineers, and external stakeholders (clients, contractors) to ensure your EICA input is fully integrated into multidisciplinary outputs, such as General Arrangement Drawings, 3D models, and P&IDs.


Finally, you will act as a technical leader and mentor, guiding the development of junior engineers within the team.

About You

You are a Chartered or Incorporated Electrical Engineer with a degree in Electrical Engineering (or a related discipline) and a proven background in EICA engineering design.


Specifically, you possess deep experience in developing comprehensive technical documentation, including control philosophies, technical specifications, and detailed EICA schedules, translating concept and outline designs into fully developed, constructible solutions. You must be skilled in communicating complex technical concepts through clear presentations and actively inputting into high-level design discussions.


While experience in the Water sector is highly valued, we strongly encourage applications from candidates with a solid background in energy, infrastructure, or environmental engineering who are ready to transfer their skills.
