About the Job
Federal Practice Leader - ( 2500006K )
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.
At Stantec we build communities. Together with our US Federal clients we live, work, and raise our families in those local, national, or international communities. We design infrastructure, address environmental threats and support recovery from disasters to help secure our nation. We diligently explore our communities and clients’ needs and use our innovation, ethics, and passion to meet those needs.
We actively support our veteran community and seek those who have served our nation, because they uniquely understand the sacrifice required to grow in a safe, secure, and sustainable manner.
Our Nation is our community. Join us and help our communities stay secure and grow sustainably.
