Senior Roadway Project Engineer

Stantec is a global leader in sustainable engineering, architecture, and environmental consulting. We plan, design, and manage projects that move people and goods from Point A to Point B, creating connections that transform our communities. Every airport, road, bridge, port, or transit project is an opportunity to make communities safer, cleaner, and more resilient. Join our team of professionals who are passionate about the future of transportation.

Senior Project Engineers plan, design, and direct engineering projects focused on transportation systems such as highways, streets, bridges, tunnels, drainage structures, roadway lighting, airports, railroads, and commuter trains. They assess potential construction sites, check existing structures for upgrades, and create drawings and schematics using computer‑aided design (CAD) software. Engineers approve and prepare proposals and cost estimates, evaluate project progress, recommend changes, and represent project work in client meetings.

They may provide leadership and training to junior staff, advise on complex problems, and apply advanced engineering principles. Projects range from smaller assignments to higher revenue, complex undertakings requiring coordination of multiple stakeholders.
