Hydropower Analyst - Mechanical - ( 240002G8 )

Description

We are in an energy transition – sustainability and renewable attributes of our power generation sources are becoming increasingly important to society. Wind power and Solar PV increasingly contribute non-dispatchable electricity which hydroelectric power plants and storage firm up to match consumer and grid requirements. Our work includes developing new greenfield power facilities as well as the assessment and renewal of existing, historic plants.

Our goal is to increase the role Stantec plays in the important sectors of Hydropower & Dams through strengthening our capabilities, improving our effectiveness, growing business volume and elevating the Stantec brand recognition.
