Roadway Project Manager

A career in transportation is more than bridges, roads, and rail. As we plan, design, and manage projects that move people and goods from Point A to Point B, we create connections that transform our communities. Every airport, road, bridge, port, or transit project is an opportunity to make communities safer, cleaner, and more resilient. Together, we’re making an impact around the world.

At Stantec, we are driven to achieve what is right. Our Transportation group provides comprehensive planning, project management, design, and engineering services for all phases of transportation projects.
