I am a graduate civil engineer with one year of experience. I do a mix of technical, MSQA and design work with mentorship from more experienced members of my team. I have time for personal development and training, participating in my graduate programme and the Developing Professionals Group. Currently I spend most of my time doing MSQA for a project, which is now in the commissioning stage, where I will arrange and conduct site visits, draft Notices and Variations for my project lead to approve, and hold meetings with the client and the contractor.
So far, I have mostly worked on stormwater and wastewater where day to day involves being the doer of these projects following the task plan with support from seniors. Responsibilities with this include carrying out the tasks, checking in with the checker and seeking support when unsure. Since starting I've really enjoyed the project work and being able to come in and work on/continue something straight away. The projects have been interesting, and I feel like I get to constantly learn new processes as a grad.
mix of field and office work. not very technical

Calling all dreamers, doers, and game-changers. Your long-term career with one of the top ten design firms in the world starts here.
The people are amazing, there is an awesome network of graduates, and all the seniors are super helpful and supportive.
There is flexibility regarding hours, and working remotely.
Being involved with a wide range of projects, based around NZ. Also having mentorship from many experienced people.
Spacious, clean, and green environment to work in.
Stantec has been providing learning opportunities for graduates providing opportunities to work in the field we are interested in, with proper guidance from seniors.
Pay is alright for the size of this firm. It probably needs to be a little better hearing what my peers are making at other big companies and the mid-year salary reviews are always very minor.”
It seems really hard to get to the next career level from graduate. There is a 2-year grad program. After that, you have to do more competencies to get promoted.
The corporate-ness— it feels like it can get in the way of genuine relationships and the work itself.
Sometimes lack of support from the seniors because most of them are tied up with projects, and so busy with their work.
For me personally, due to my type of role, the availability of work. I often get quite a bit of downtime when I have nothing to work on.
