Stantec’s South Burlington office was named the #1 large employer in the 12th annual ranking of Best Places to Work in Vermont. Additionally, the office was named a 2018 Rising Star in Worksite Wellness.

“Stantec’s corporate philosophy of designing with community in mind extends to everything we do; from our project work to our own office environment, our priorities center on enhancing our communities and creating value,” said Gary Santy, senior principal. “These awards serve as a testament to our unwavering focus on this mission, and we’re proud to be recognized for this commitment.”
