Your Opportunity

Communities everywhere share the need for clean water, and the challenges are getting more complex every day. Stantec's US Mountain West Water team is hiring a Senior Civil Engineer to lead the hydraulic analysis, modeling, and planning of large-scale conveyance and pumping infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest and Mountain West.

You will step into a high-impact technical leadership role on regional water supply programs: large-diameter transmission mains, storage tanks and reservoirs, high-capacity pump and lift stations, river crossings, and corridor and site alternatives analyses that shape multi-hundred-million-dollar capital programs. You will partner directly with our Regional Delivery Leadership and our most strategic municipal and regional clients. Grow with us, H2O+U.
