Senior Mechanical Engineer – Hydropower & Dams
Top Benefits
About the role
We are in an energy transition – sustainability and renewable attributes of our power generation sources are becoming increasingly important to society. Hydroelectric power plants play a crucial role in the mix because water is an inherently renewable “fuel”, and because waterpower serves to enable other renewable, but non-dispatchable, generation forms. Our work includes developing new greenfield waterpower facilities but more likely the redevelopment, refurbishment and renovation of exiting, historic plants.
Our goal is to increase the role Stantec plays in this important sector through strengthening our capabilities, improving our effectiveness, growing business volume and elevating the Stantec brand recognition.
