Project Manager - ( 2500017O )

Description

Stantec’s vision is to be the world’s leading integrated design practice working on large, complex, transformational projects. These projects are executed collaboratively by leveraging the collective talent within our global design practice on creativity, innovative solutions, and design capability.

The Minneapolis based group at Stantec is consistently working on a wide variety of exciting industrial food and beverage, process, chemical, bio-agricultural, and other manufacturing projects. From retrofit/upgrade projects to brownfield additions, to complete greenfield facility installations, we partner with clients through all phases of the project lifecycle to deliver high quality designs and outcomes.

Your Opportunity

As a Project Manager, you will be responsible for safely leading multi-discipline engineering teams through the lifecycle of mid to large size capital projects, from initial project definition through final design and construction support. The projects you will manage will be centered around our group’s process team; however, the entire project team is often made up of engineers, specialists, and design professionals from various discipline groups across Stantec.

If you can see yourself working at a vibrant company that values innovative thinking, technical excellence, passion, and a strong commitment to partnership then Stantec may be the place for you.
