Senior Project Manager - ( 230004YU )

Description

Many of the world’s top engineers and scientists come together in our Water business because they view a community’s interaction with water a bit differently—as a single holistic system, rather than unconnected networks divided by jurisdictional boundaries. Working throughout the hydrologic cycle, we are delivering sustainable solutions to make sure water is where it should be and available when needed. Our experts guide our work with scientific rigor, an innovative spirit, and a vision for growth. Every day, we help communities improve, reuse, and protect this precious resource for future generations. By 2025 we’re hiring 2,000 people (like you) to join our team. Grow with us, H2O U.

Your Opportunity

We are looking for a talented Water/Wastewater Senior Project Manager and Client Account Manager that has an Operational Technology (OT) background, based out of our Pasadena, California office that wants to be part of a purpose-driven organization that is focused on helping our clients, colleagues and communities thrive. Operational technology (OT) is hardware and software that detects or causes a change, through the direct monitoring and/or control of industrial equipment, assets, processes, and events.

Our people are Stantec’s most valuable resource, and in joining our team you will be able to leverage your career experiences and expertise in OT applied to pumping stations, water treatment and wastewater treatment infrastructure within a culture that values inclusion, celebrates shared success, and applauds ambition.

Stantec is at the forefront of the water industry, delivering thousands of projects for hundreds of communities globally. Our purpose is to conceive and develop the most impactful water projects that improve the health, quality of life and sustainability of the communities we live in and serve. We are always looking at what is next in the industry and bring innovative approaches to even the most complex projects. Stantec is working with multiple utilities in the Southeast United States area to develop innovative, sustainable, and efficient solutions to their needs.
