Principal Consultant - Asset Management and Regulatory Advice

The Opportunity

We make communities more resilient through smarter asset management. Our Asset Management and Regulatory Advice teams, part of the Stantec Advisory Group, have a significant track record of successful delivery of impactful outcomes across the Water, Energy and Infrastructure sectors. Our local and globally connected teams work with our clients to help them drive performance and realise financial and social value from their assets.

We do this by applying systems‑thinking within a collaborative working environment with our clients’ teams and stakeholders. This approach is used to unlock insights into the performance of all their assets, leading to informed and timely decisions that deliver value and promote sustainable outcomes.

Our success in supporting many of the UK’s main utility providers and major infrastructure developers brings continued opportunities for growth across our market sectors and disciplines.

As part of our team’s overall growth, we are looking to recruit a Principal Consultant. This role can be based in a number of locations, including London, Reading, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow or Bristol offices. Hybrid working allows for a great work‑life balance.

As a Principal Consultant within Asset Management or Regulatory Advice, you will develop and deliver innovative system‑based Asset Management solutions throughout the entire Asset Lifecycle, and support asset management subjects, to enable our clients to solve their most complex problems. You will support our Client Service and Technical Directors with the development and delivery of programmes, projects and technical outputs.

You will provide technical expertise to projects, guiding and mentoring less experienced team members to deliver high quality outcomes for our clients. Externally you will build relationships with clients and develop opportunities to provide strategic asset management consultancy services. In return you will have the opportunity to progress your career, acquire new skills and professional qualifications and to work with numerous clients located across the UK.

• You have experience of working in a senior asset management or regulatory role primarily within the regulated water/energy sectors and have a track record of generating solutions to complex industry problems.
• You can demonstrate strong knowledge of asset management / regulation policy and strategy.
• You have experience of assessing and managing asset management risks, life‑cycle decision‑making and developing asset management plans in highly regulated environments.
• You have a track record of developing and maintaining collaborative relationships with internal and external stakeholders and are able to share your experience by developing and mentoring talented individuals within our organisation.

We have the right environment and culture to provide flexibility, support, and work‑life balance that you need to succeed. We offer a great benefits package including flexible working arrangements, private medical insurance, a strong pension scheme and a people‑oriented company culture.

If you are looking for a chance to further develop your career within a highly supporting organisation, delivering exceptional solutions for clients, then we would love to hear from you.
