Learning begins in the classroom but theres no better place to gain real-world experience than with Stantec. Interns are an integral part of our teams, working to solve some of the world's most complex challenges.
As an intern, youll work alongside our experienced practitioners and with our clients and communities. This hands-on experience will equip you with practical skills, build your network, and provide opportunities that set you up for success.

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 were hiring 2,000 people (like you) to join our team. Grow with us, H2O+U.
