Communities are fundamental. Whether around the corner or across the globe, they provide a foundation, a sense of place and of belonging. That's why at Stantec, we always design with community in mind.
We care about the communities we serve—because they're our communities too. We're designers, engineers, scientists, and project managers, innovating together at the intersection of community, creativity, and client relationships. Balancing these priorities results in projects that advance the quality of life in communities across the globe.
About the role
Our vibrant Water team is delivering a large programme of works and are looking for a motivated Design Manager/Project Technical Lead to provide technical overview, commercial acumen and team leadership on a programme of treatment plant upgrade projects.

You also enjoy providing direction and support to others and are committed to bringing multi-discipline teams together to operate efficiently and to consistently deliver quality service on time and on budget.
