At Stantec, we approach every industrial water treatment project we undertake thoughtfully and execute it with excellence across all project phases.

Your Opportunity

Stantec's multi-disciplinary office in Houston, TX has an opportunity for a highly motivated Chemical Engineering Intern.

Your Key Responsibilities

Our Water sector, which brings together many of the world's top engineers and scientists, sees water a bit differently-as a single holistic system rather than as unconnected networks divided by boundaries. We use this perspective to help clients tap into water's potential. Throughout the life cycle of capture, use, reuse, treatment and discharge, our team optimizes every facet of a water system. Whether a project calls for permitting and regulatory support, engineers, designers, field and construction support, or facility operators, we have the right experts to provide holistic and creative, yet practical, water solutions. Through our cost-effective strategies, we are helping clients increase their water efficiency and protect their water resources for future generations. Join our team as we create new ways to tap into water's vast potential.
