Senior Project Manager - Municipal Water Engineering
Stantec’s Water sector, which brings together many of the world’s top engineers and scientists, sees water a bit differently—as a single holistic system rather than as unconnected networks divided by jurisdictional boundaries. We use this perspective to help communities tap into water’s potential. Throughout the life cycle of capture, use, reuse, and discharge, our team optimizes every facet of a water system. Whether a project calls for planners, designers, construction managers, or facility operators, we have the right experts to provide creative, yet practical, water solutions. If working on challenging projects and working on teams aimed at delivering solutions to some of Stantec’s most complex water opportunities appeal to you. Grow with us, H2O+U.
