Shape the Future of Aviation in Florida 

 A career in transportation is more than bridges, roads, and rail. As we plan, design, and manage projects that move people and goods from Point A to Point B, we create connections that transform our communities. Every airport, road, bridge, port, or transit project is an opportunity to make communities safer, cleaner, and more resilient. Together, we’re making an impact around the world.  

If you’re looking for a career that moves, join our team of professionals who are passionate about the future of transportation. 

Are you ready to lead transformative airport infrastructure projects across Florida and the Southeast? Join Stantec’s Aviation Consulting Practice as our Florida Airport Infrastructure Lead and take the helm in driving innovation, growth, and excellence in airport planning, design, and construction management. 
 
This is more than a leadership role; it’s a chance to build something extraordinary. You’ll be at the forefront of strategic planning, client engagement, and team development, all while collaborating with top-tier professionals across the Gulf and Northeast regions.  

This role is based in one of our Florida offices—Tampa, FL preferred, but other locations are possible based on your client relationships. Expect regular travel across Florida and occasional field work. 

Our Airports Team is taking airport design to the next level. From roadway to runway or full terminal design, your career will soar to new heights.   

The Stantec Transportation group provides services to both private and public sector clients.  While you will be focusing on work in Florida and the southeast, the successful candidate will also have opportunities to collaborate with our other teams across the United States and in Canada and support their project needs as opportunities arise.
