Here at Stantec, 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.
The Stantec community unites more than 22,000 employees working in over 400 locations. Our work—professional consulting in planning, engineering, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental sciences, project management, and project economics—begins at the intersection of community, creativity, and client relationships.

Your Opportunity
As a Planning and Economic Analyst, you would be the next member of Stantec’s national Development Economics team. We provide research and analysis to illuminate the context for development and revitalization in local communities, and we provide clear strategies and implementation steps to surmount challenges and advance the development outcomes that address local needs.
We are active in developing industry leading methodologies for understanding the economic geography of housing and economic development in local communities and putting that research to work in support of urban planning, housing and economic development projects.
As we’ve been sharpening our methodologies, the demand for our services has been growing and we need another reliable and capable colleague. We are seeking someone with a background in a combination of urban planning, community development, economics, and/or real estate—with an analytical orientation and data analysis skillset.
If hired, you would be joining a technical power center within Stantec. But equally important is our shared commitment to fostering a team and workplace culture that is inclusive and supportive and collaborative.
