Senior Project Manager, Water Distribution (Hybrid in Minneapolis) - ( 240001G2 )

Description

Many of the world's top engineers and scientists come together in our Water business because they view a community's interaction with water a bit differently-as a single holistic system, rather than unconnected networks divided by jurisdictional boundaries.

Working throughout the hydrologic cycle, we are delivering sustainable solutions to make sure water is where it should be and available when needed.

Our experts guide our work with scientific rigor, an innovative spirit, and a vision for growth. Every day, we help communities improve, reuse, and protect this precious resource for future generations.

At Stantec, we create opportunity by inviting, embracing, and celebrating differences and together we shape a culture where everyone can bring their whole selves to work.

By 2025 we're hiring 2,000 people (like you) to join our team. Grow with us, H2O+U.
