Urban Planner Co-op Student - ( 2300016N )

Description

Strong communities don’t just happen—they’re built. They’re creatively imagined, collaboratively planned, and readied to face tomorrow with optimism. We’re driving the future of Community Development. Our experts lead their fields, collaborating on projects that are as technically challenging as they are impactful, creative, and fulfilling. We’re a place where you can apply your passion—and find endless opportunities to help make communities more equitable, resilient, and livable.

Your Opportunity

At Stantec we are committed to our local communities. Designing with community in mind means we understand the unique needs of our clients and our communities, and we develop creative ways to meet their needs. We bring together the places that make communities feel like home - whether it’s an urban park, a commercial plaza, or a residential neighborhood. We do this because we’re part of the community too and we care about the places where we live—just as much as you do. We are pleased to participate with post-secondary institutions in providing cooperative education experiences for undergraduate students.
