Overview
Stantec is working on many of the world’s largest, complex and most exciting dams and hydro projects. We are rapidly growing and seek a Principal Mechanical Engineer to join our dynamic team, focusing on the design and development of cutting-edge hydropower and pumped storage hydro solutions. This role supports projects across varied locations and scopes within our hydropower portfolio.
Our mechanical engineers are responsible for the mechanical engineering elements of solutions and the production of associated outline and detailed designs to support the successful delivery of projects. The mechanical engineering team is growing, and we welcome applications from candidates passionate about a role in hydropower. Roles are available at various levels dependent upon experience and qualifications. The position is based within the hydropower team but may involve support for projects in other sectors, including water and thermal projects.
The roles include working with a client-focused, multi-disciplinary design group to undertake technical audits, risk evaluations, and develop mechanical designs to produce timely and cost-effective solutions that meet the client’s requirements.
Responsibilities
* Develop mechanical design and liaise with other technical disciplines at feasibility, outline and detailed stages to produce solutions.
