Yes. Please tailor your CV to each specific role. Ensure you only apply for office locations you would like to be based in or see yourself relocating to.
We strongly recommend applying as soon as possible, as adverts could close earlier if we have sufficient applicants.
Once you submit your application, our early careers 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.
We will notify you by email. Unfortunately, we cannot provide individual feedback due to the volume of applications received.
Most of our graduates start in summer/autumn. If an immediate start is required, this is stated in the job advert.
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.
Stantec UK is proud to provide all graduates with a permanent full-time contract, supporting a long-term commitment to Stantec’s early career professionals.
For the majority of our Graduate and Apprentice roles, applicants must have the unconditional right to live and work in the UK for an indefinite period without limitation. Any variations in Right to Work requirements will be stated on the advert of the specific role.
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 have completed the core three-year training period, we will continue to provide tailored training and mentorship to support your career progression, including assistance for those working towards attaining professional status.
We have a national presence across the UK. Not every discipline will recruit in every office, so please check the job advert for the specific location.
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. 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 at Stantec.
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.
We ask our graduates to come into the office 4 days per week, to ensure that colleagues are able to provide the appropriate level of support.
