Strong and vibrant communities don’t just happen—they’re creatively imagined, collaboratively planned, and designed. At Stantec, we bring together landscape architects, planners, engineers, architects, and designers to shape resilient, inclusive, and inspiring public spaces.

This role is ideal for a designer with strong conceptual thinking skills who can translate complex site conditions into clear, compelling design ideas and confidently lead early design phases.
In addition to design leadership, you will support business development efforts, collaborating with project managers and principals on proposals, interviews, and pursuit strategies that position our studio to win new work with existing and prospective clients.
You will collaborate closely with planners, engineers, architects, environmental scientists, and clients on parks, waterfronts, greenways, campuses, playgrounds, and other civic projects throughout New York City and beyond.
