    Senior Cost Estimator - Walnut Creek, United States - Stantec

    Default job background
    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.

    At Stantec, we're not just in the business of designing infrastructure-we're shaping the future. As a global leader in the design and construction of large-scale civil works facilities, water conveyance systems, stormwater management, and wastewater treatment plants, we're committed to creating sustainable solutions that improve communities worldwide.
