Your Opportunity
Stantec is seeking a drinking water focused process engineer to join our team in the London, Waterloo, Toronto, or Stoney Creek Ontario offices. These offices support projects throughout southwestern Ontario and work with brilliant specialists from across our North American operations.
Within this position, you can leverage the process engineering and municipal water treatment design knowledge gained through your education and early career. Under the guidance of our senior engineering staff, you will work on municipal drinking water treatment projects in a supporting capacity. At a high level your tasks may include the development of engineering and financial calculations, participating in the design of water treatment facilities, engineering calculations, technical reports, providing proposal support, and independent field work. The projects that may be assigned are broad, varied, and diverse in scope, and often require seamlessly working with a diverse project team.
We are looking for a self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset, who can quickly get up to speed and grow into the role. It is expected that you have obtained your professional engineering designation or have the ability to obtain within 12 months. Many of the challenges we tackle for our clients are complex and multi-faceted, requiring comprehensive analytical skills often gained through rigorous academic study. Although not a requirement, advanced degrees in engineering and business administration are highly desired.

- Contribute to engineering assessments, technical memoranda, design basis reports, business cases, and other technical studies for drinking water facilities
- Perform engineering analyses, process calculations, hydraulic assessments, data evaluation, and water quality reviews to support planning, design, optimization, and rehabilitation projects.
- Participate in condition assessments, feasibility studies, design projects, and treatment process evaluations for existing and proposed drinking water infrastructure.
- Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, including civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation disciplines, to develop integrated design solutions.
- Build and maintain positive working relationships with municipal clients, regulators, contractors, vendors, and subconsultants through professional communication.
- Conduct site visits, field investigations, and facility inspections to support planning, design, construction, and business development activities.
- Assist with applications and approvals required under Ontario drinking water regulations and support coordination with regulatory agencies
- Support contract administration and construction services, including shop drawing reviews, responses to contractor inquiries, site observations, commissioning support, and review of construction progress.
- Assist with proposal preparation, project planning, scheduling, budgeting, and delivery of technical project work.
