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 the coming months within our Energy & Resources team.

Working as part of our Waste and Generation Team, you will have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects including conventional EfW plants, district heating, gasification projects, hydrogen generation schemes, and multiple biogas production projects.

In this role, you will be involved in the entire project lifecycle, from optioneering through detailed design and installation. Responsibilities include feasibility studies, site surveys, and investigations. You will collaborate with clients, partners, and team members to develop designs and project solutions across various projects in Stantec's Energy and Resources sector.
