Stantec, San Diego, CA
Mechanical Engineer - Water - ( 240002BI )
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
As a Mechanical Engineer, your role in our professional consulting services team is to work independently on projects of various complexity, and as a leader of a project, through all phases of a project lifecycle. You are responsible for leading the design of HVAC, Plumbing, and Fire Protection for industrial type projects, mainly municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment plants, hydroelectric power stations, storm mitigation facilities, and semi-conductor manufacturing facilities in different locations across North America. Every project has its own unique challenges, and you are considered a resource for solution to those challenges.
