Application Process

Can I use AI?

We encourage the thoughtful use of AI to strengthen your application, but not AI writing your answers for you. Generic, copied responses are easily detectable and don't showcase your unique skills or how you'd fit our team.

Step 1. Online Application

  • Before you apply, please review our GenAI policy and look through our Graduate brochure.
  • Consider how you express yourself. To stand out in your application, demonstrate a keen interest in the discipline/industry and highlight your relevant experience in your CV and cover letter.
  • We’d love to hear about any paid or voluntary roles you have taken up, including any leadership roles at school or university, or any volunteering for a local sports or community group.

We close roles once we have received sufficient applicants. Don’t miss your chance!

Step 2. Aptitude Tests

  • If successful, we will invite you to complete a series of task-based assessments using the Arctic Shores platform.
  • This science-based assessment uses engaging tasks to gain valuable insights into your natural behaviours and skill indicators, allowing us to see your potential for growth in the role.

Step 3. Online Video Interview

  • If successful, we will invite you to complete an online video interview. The video interview is an opportunity for you to showcase your interest and passion for your chosen career path, so relax and let your personality shine through!

Step 4. Face to Face Interview

  • The final stage is an interview with the hiring manager and another team member. It could be in person at one of our offices, or online via Microsoft Teams.
  • This is a chance for you to go into more depth about your studies, work experience (if applicable) and how this relates to the role you applied for using a competency-based interview format. It is also a great opportunity for you to talk through your interest in the role at Stantec.
  • As much as it’s about us finding out about you, it’s an opportunity for you to find out more about the team and the day-to-day of the role, so please come prepared with questions!

Step 5. Offer

  • If successful, we will call you to discuss your offer and send you an official contract.
