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.

Key aspects of the roll will be:

- Project technical leader on assigned projects to deliver the agreed outputs on budget, on time and to quality standards.
- Determine client requirements, conduct and manage site surveys and investigations, produce calculations, specifications and drawings to ensure that technical designs provide appropriate solutions.
- Organise tender documents, evaluate tenders and contracts.
- Develop and mentor junior staff.
- Develop and maintain strong client relationships through excellent project performance.
- Provide advice, solutions and project outcomes that create value for clients.
- Liaise continually with our clients to ensure that their expectations are met and that any concerns are heard and addressed appropriately.
- Clearly understand the objectives of new and existing clients in order to undertake effective business development and identification of opportunities for Stantec.
- Produce quality project outputs, ensuring scope changes are closely monitored and design work is adequately resourced, reviewed and programmed.
- Plan, programme, co-ordinate and write reports for specific projects.
- Prepare cost estimates for project design and construction.
- Contribute to proposal and bid development to support business development activities, including preparing proposal material as required
