The Engineering Manager will oversee design services such as fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), long-haul, hyperscale connectivity, and fiber rings in support of small cell infrastructure. This role combines program-level leadership (building workflows, cross-training teams, establishing QA / QC processes) with direct project management responsibilities as the fiber program grows. The Engineering Manager will set the foundation for scalable fiber delivery and manage client projects to ensure successful execution, profitability, and client satisfaction. Working in close partnership with the Business Development (BD) team and Telecom Regional Leads, the Engineering Manager will ensure that client pursuits are supported by a scalable, reliable delivery model that positions Stantec as a trusted partner in the fiber industry.

  • Partner with the BD team to align operational capabilities with client pursuits, proposals, and bundled offerings.
  • Track and report KPIs specific to the fiber program (BD meetings, proposals, pilot project success, training completion, workflow adoption).
  • Establish Stantec as a leader in fiber design delivery through operational excellence and client-focused service.

Project Management – Fiber Projects

  • Manage active fiber design projects from planning through close-out, ensuring adherence to scope, budgets, timelines, and quality standards.

    • Operational Readiness & Resource Management

  • Forecast and manage capacity for fiber design projects as the program scales.
  • Lead cross-training initiatives to equip teams with fiber design skills (FTTH, long-haul, hyperscale connectivity, and small cell fiber rings).
  • Oversee adoption of software and tools for fiber design (GIS, CAD, Lightspeed, permitting platforms).
  • Coordinate subcontractors and vendors specific to fiber program delivery.

    • Budget Oversight

  • Develop and manage fiber project budgets; track expenses and financials.
  • Provide monthly financial reports and forecasts for fiber delivery performance.
  • Identify, request, and manage change orders as needed.
  • Oversee invoicing, collections, and AR specific to fiber services.

    • Stakeholder Communication & Collaboration

  • Serve as the operational point of contact for all fiber program delivery.
  • Coordinate bundled fiber offerings with Environmental, Energy, and Community Development teams as needed.
  • Work hand-in-hand with BD to develop integrated proposals and client campaigns that highlight fiber as part of bundled services.
  • Incorporate client and internal feedback into continuous fiber program improvement.

    • Quality Assurance & Risk Management
