Regional Sector Lead

Regional Sector Lead - Energy, Western Canada - ( 230002K7 )

**Description**

**Your Opportunity**

We are in an energy transition - sustainability and renewable attributes of our power generation sources are becoming increasingly important to society. Hydroelectric power plants play a crucial role in the mix because water is an inherently renewable “fuel”, and because waterpower serves to enable other renewable, but non-dispatchable, generation forms. Our work is equally focused on developing new greenfield waterpower facilities as well as redevelopment, refurbishment and renovation of existing plants.

Stantec strives to increase our role in this important sector in Western Canada through strengthening our capabilities, improving our effectiveness, growing business volume and elevating the Stantec brand recognition.

Join a team that will support you in doing meaningful work.
