Global engineering and architecture firm for infrastructure and environmental consulting
Stantec is a 10,000+ person public engineering and architecture practice headquartered in Edmonton, spanning 17 countries with deep focus on infrastructure, water systems, and energy transition. The hiring profile is engineering-dominant (971 active roles in engineering vs. 143 in design), with steady mid-level and junior recruitment, signaling sustained delivery capacity on large-framework projects rather than rapid scaling. Tech stack reflects traditional AEC workflows (Civil 3D, Revit, ANSYS, Primavera P6) with emerging adoption of newer platforms, indicating incremental modernization rather than wholesale platform shifts.
