About the role
Strong communities don’t just happen. They’re thoughtfully planned and future-ready. We bring life to urban downtowns, suburban hubs, small towns, and rural areas through master-planned communities, mixed-use developments, parks, and recreation facilities. The result: vibrant economic centres, resilient neighbourhoods, and welcoming places that feel like home.
If you’re passionate about empowering communities, join us to discover a career with endless opportunities to make communities more equitable, resilient, and livable.
Your Opportunity
The Stantec Yukon office has a vibrant and dynamic environment with unparalleled opportunities for professional growth. Our projects vary in size ranging from small commercial developments to municipal, government, community and private sector developments and facilities. Our multidisciplinary northern office is looking for an energetic Civil / Municipal Engineer to round out our growing practice in Northern Canada. Whitehorse is the capital of the Yukon and is a remarkably cosmopolitan city of roughly 30,000, filled with well-educated families and professionals. It is the commercial hub for projects and communities across the Yukon and the wilderness is just steps from our downtown office. In Whitehorse northern traditions mix with the everyday lifestyles of modern Canadians from all cultures and backgrounds. The result is a unique sense of place that both welcomes newcomers and embraces new ideas. Up here work-life balance truly exists. Whether you’re interested in an adventure filled with fishing, skiing, hiking and snowmobiling, or just looking to live in a beautiful, small urban centre, Whitehorse could be the place for you. Build your career AND enjoy your life!
