Stantec Operational Technology Leader in BELLEVUE, Washington
Operational Technology Leader - ( 240002M2 )
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

We are looking for a talented and multi-functional Client Account Manager and Technical Leader to join our Operational Technology (OT) team to support the growth of the portfolio. The position requires requisite OT technical subject-matter-expertise, but also requires skills in client management, business development and project delivery to accelerate growth and excellence in the portfolio.

Our purpose is to conceive and develop the most impactful water projects that improve the health, quality of life and sustainability of the communities we live in and serve. We are always looking at what is next in the industry and bring innovative approaches to even the most complex projects. Stantec is working with multiple utilities in North America to develop innovative, sustainable, and efficient solutions to their needs. Want to work with great clients on impactful projects alongside some of the industry’s top changemakers? Join our growing team and apply today.
