Electrical Engineer - Water Industry

Are you a hands-on Electrical Engineer ready to join a collaborative, ambitious team and deliver vital infrastructure across the North East? Stantec is a global leader in sustainable design, and we're seeking a key talent to strengthen our vibrant Newcastle office, right on the Quayside.

Your Role and Responsibilities

As an Electrical Engineer, you'll be a vital link between concept design and successful project delivery, offering high visibility and real-world impact. Your main responsibilities will involve producing detailed electrical designs and core technical documents, such as Load Schedules, Instrument Schedules & input to control philosophies and other client specific deliverables. You will also conduct regular site surveys to assess existing infrastructure, verify asset data, and accurately assess power loads and cabling routes. Furthermore, you liaise with clients and key stakeholders to clarify requirements and present technical solutions, while working closely with multidisciplinary teams to produce fully integrated, compliant designs.
