Expression of Interest - Future Opportunities (please expect longer timescales).

The Energy Transition is the fundamental shift underway in how we, as a global community, produce, distribute, and consume energy, with the overarching goal of transitioning to a lower carbon future.

Will you be part of the solution? If you are passionate about making a difference in the sector, then join Stantec's industry leading Energy team in driving the change!

As a result of recent successes and the development of new projects and clients, Stantec is looking to speak with Principal Mechanical Engineers for future opportunities in our Energy & Resources team.

You will collaborate with clients, partners, and team members to develop designs and solutions across a wide range of projects within Stantec's Energy and Resources sector.
