Infrastructure, which makes up Stantec’s Transportation and Community Development business lines, has grown steadily to make up the largest portion of Stantec’s business, with more than 4,700 professionals working on more than 10,000 active projects on four continents.
Walter brings 35 years of industry experience to the position and has been with Stantec since it acquired New York City-based Vollmer Associates in 2007. A designated Professional Engineer, she spent the past two years leading Stantec’s Transportation business line for the United States and Canada, including the company’s transit, road, rail, bridge and smart mobility activities in North America.
“Susan has done a tremendous job running Stantec’s transportation business,” said Stu Lerner, Chief Operating Officer, North America. “In her capable hands the business executed projects of all sizes, while hitting profitability targets across the board. Her experience will serve all of Infrastructure well as we continue to grow our business.”
Walter's signature projects include the Long Island Rail Road expansion, a project that will add a third track to the busiest commuter line in the United States; Atlantic Yards, an over $1-billion transit-oriented development project in Brooklyn, New York; New York City Transit’s South Ferry Tunnel and Terminal; and the $850-million State Highway 288 Toll Lanes Project in Houston, Texas.
