Regional Delivery Leader, Infrastructure - Canada West

Your Opportunity Reporting to the Project Delivery Business Leader (PDBL), the Regional Delivery Leader (RDL) is accountable for driving best-in-class project delivery and leading overall project execution and resourcing for the Infrastructure BOU within a defined region. The RDL is a peer to the Regional Business Leader (RBL) and Regional Growth Leader (RGL); together, these three roles form the region’s senior leadership team, collectively providing leadership across delivery, business operations, and growth. The role advances technical excellence, quality, and the standardization of project delivery practices. It ensures that the Excellence pillar—encompassing technical excellence, HSSE, digital innovation, project management, global delivery center integration, risk management and disciplined project delivery—is consistently translated into measurable project outcomes. In collaboration with the RBL, RGL, BCOLs, and other leaders, the RDL develops, trains, and leads project delivery teams to achieve operational and performance objectives. Primary Focus Areas Delivery Excellence and Standardisation Ensure consistent, high-quality delivery practices and reduce variability across projects by driving the structured application of project delivery frameworks, governance, and standards. Reinforce discipline in project execution across schedule, cost, and quality dimensions, ensuring alignment in how projects are delivered across the regions. Promote a system-driven approach to delivery, reducing reliance on individual practices and improving predictability, repeatability, and overall performance. Technical Excellence and Quality Integration Work closely with Technical Leaders and the communities of practice to embed subject matter expertise into project delivery and strengthen technical outputs. Ensure appropriate technical oversight is applied on projects, particularly on complex or high-risk work. Reinforce consistent application of design standards, quality processes, and QA/QC practices, driving improvements in technical quality and reducing rework across the portfolio. HSSE Leadership Embed HSSE as a non-negotiable foundation in all project delivery activities and actively reinforce Stantec’s SaferTogether culture through visible leadership, meaningful safety conversations, and consistent safety behaviors. Promote a proactive safety culture by integrating HSSE considerations into planning, decision-making, and execution. Collaborate closely with HSSE managers and advisors to align project delivery practices with regional HSSE priorities, leverage their expertise in risk identification and mitigation, and ensure consistent support to project teams. Ensure that HSSE expectations are consistently applied across projects and that leaders are held accountable for safety performance, reinforcing Infrastructure’s safety-first mindset. Digital and Innovation Accelerate the adoption of digital tools, innovation practices, and responsible AI-enabled workflows to enhance delivery efficiency, consistency, quality, and client value. Ensure that practical, value-driven digital solutions are embedded into project execution and not treated as optional add-ons. Collaborate closely with the Director of Digital Practice and their team to align regional delivery needs with digital practice priorities, support adoption of standard tools and workflows, and identify opportunities to scale innovation across projects. Support the disciplined implementation of AI in project delivery workflows by promoting appropriate use cases, human review, QA/QC integration, documentation, and governance so that AI strengthens—not replaces—professional judgment and accountability. Partner with digital leads and project teams to advance innovation that improves delivery outcomes. GDC Integration Promote the effective integration of Global Delivery Centre (GDC) capabilities into project delivery to improve scalability, flexibility, and delivery consistency. Work with BC Leaders, project managers, and the Infrastructure GDC BOU representative to identify appropriate opportunities for GDC engagement, clarify roles and expectations, and ensure these capabilities are integrated early and effectively into project plans. Collaborate with the Infrastructure GDC BOU representative to align regional delivery needs with BOU priorities, strengthen awareness of available GDC capabilities, and support consistent adoption of effective global delivery practices across projects. Project Management and Project Controls Strengthen project management discipline and project controls across the portfolio to improve predictability, performance, and outcomes. Ensure consistent application of the Project Management Frameworks. Reinforce robust project controls practices—such as cost planning, forecasting, EVM and performance reporting—to enable early identification of deviation from the plan and informed decision-making. In collaboration with the Director of Project Management and the Director of Project Controls, partner with PMs, RPMLs and project controls teams to enhance capability, improve financial accuracy, and drive accountability for delivery performance across all projects. Risk Management and Intervention Identify at-risk or underperforming projects early and provide targeted intervention to improve outcomes. Engage with project leadership to address delivery challenges, mitigate risks, and prevent margin erosion. Support a structured approach to risk identification and management from pursuit through execution, ensuring issues are proactively addressed and lessons learned are captured and embedded into future delivery practices. Collaboration and Resourcing Coordinate regional delivery resources and ensure alignment with project demands and business priorities. Facilitate collaboration across BCs, regions, and BOUs to optimize resource allocation and leverage available capabilities. Work with RBLs, BC Leaders, Technical Leaders to ensure that the right expertise is deployed on the right projects at the right time, supporting both delivery performance and growth objectives.
