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 waterpower is inherently renewable "fuel", and plays a key role on the power grid to firm up non-dispatchable generation forms. Engineering for the redevelopment, refurbishment and renovation of existing, historic plants will not be enough to satisfy the demand for power but new greenfield waterpower facilities also need to be planned, designed and built.Stantec, with over one hundred years of legacy in hydropower and a stellar sustainability record, aims to build on our global leadership and further strengthen our position in Quebec.Join a team that will support you in doing meaningful work according to your unique way of arriving at our common goals.Your OpportunityOur hydro team is seeking a colleague who enjoys understanding client needs and matching them with Stantec's service offerings to fill the role ofHydropower & Dams Lead – QuebecYou will act as a "seller/doer" with strong connections in the Quebec hydropower industry.
