FAQs

Can I apply for more than one role?

Yes. Please tailor your cover letter to each specific role. Ensure you only apply for office locations you would like to be based in or see yourself relocating to.

When do job applications close?

We strongly recommend applying as soon as possible as adverts could close earlier if we have sufficient applicants.

What happens after I submit my application?

Once you submit your application, our emerging talent team will do the initial screening. We aim to get back to everyone within three months, but this may vary. Due to applicant volumes, we are unfortunately unable to provide individual updates.

What happens if I am unsuccessful after the first stage?

We will notify you by email. Unfortunately we cannot provide individual feedback due to the volume of applications received.

What degree disciplines do you recruit?

Please review the job advert for the specific degree discipline required. If you are still unsure, please email Careers.UK&I@stantec.com 

When does the graduate programme start?

Most of our graduates start in September. If an immediate start is required, this is stated in the job advert.

Does Stantec have a career development group?

Yes, we do. The Developing Professionals Group (DPG) gives employees in the initial stages of their career the chance to develop both technically and professionally and enables national and global collaboration. It’s a truly international network that, in addition to regional and local activities, really gives a voice to our Developing Professionals. 

Do you provide a permanent contract?

Stantec UK&I is proud to provide all graduates with a permanent full-time contract, supporting a long-term commitment to Stantec’s early career professionals.

What does the Graduate Development Programme involve?

Your Professional Development Programme includes core training throughout your first three years at Stantec. The programme provides an enhanced training period and a community to engage with throughout your initial Professional Development. Once you’ve completed the three-year graduate core training period, you will continue to receive training and mentorship tailored to support your journey to becoming professionally chartered or qualified.

Where will I be based?

We have a national presence across the UK and Ireland. Not every discipline recruits in every office, so please check the job advert for the specific location.

Do you offer a rotational graduate programme?

Whilst we don't offer a formal rotational programme, we do encourage you to work with your mentor and manager to make the most of the extensive array of opportunities available across our sectors and geographies. Our multidisciplinary teams, the Graduate Programme, the Developing Professionals Group and our Communities of Practice can all help you get connected and develop your career in an exciting and growing business.

What is your stance on the use of Gen AI in our recruitment process?

AI can be a valuable tool to enhance your application, however it shouldn’t replace your unique voice.
