Project Manager - Water - ( Q )
**Description**
**Project Manager**
Stantec is a global leader in sustainable engineering, architecture, and environmental consulting. The diverse perspectives of our partners and interested parties drive us to think beyond what's previously been done on critical issues like climate change, digital transformation, and future-proofing our cities and infrastructure.
We are designers, engineers, scientists, project managers, and strategic advisors. We innovate at the intersection of community, creativity, and client relationships to advance communities everywhere, so that together we can redefine what's possible.
**About the role**
Stantec's Water team in New Zealand has an impressive portfolio of successful projects that benefit communities nationwide and beyond, with significant contributions to international work. Our water focus covers the management of drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and groundwater as a collective resource. Dams and hydropower are a key focus, driving resilience and renewable energy solutions. Tackling our water challenges is crucial, and our diverse local network includes over 360 water specialists dedicated to innovation.
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to join our busy Water team.

As you'll be managing multiple projects concurrently (with varying values), strong organisational and time management skills are essential, alongside sound financial acumen and the ability to prioritise competing demands to meet project deadlines. You'll also bring experience working directly with clients to understand their requirements, clarify project briefs, and deliver outcomes that align with their objectives.
Fostering team performance and being an effective and efficient communicator will be essential to your success in this role. You will have ideally achieved Project Management qualifications or working towards the attainment of a recognised qualification.
