largest projects while overseeing alternative project delivery for the
Company. He has nearly 35 years of industry leadership experience,
including more than 10 years with Stantec.

“Steve has established leadership expertise in developing the systems
and organizational foundation necessary to meet the needs of our
large-scale project clients,” said Bob Gomes, Stantec’s president and

the Company’s Program & Project Management practice and progressed into
successive leadership roles before being appointed executive vice
president of Stantec’s Programs & Business Solutions group. He
formalized Stantec’s company-wide Project Delivery Office, a critical
team responsible for streamlining major project governance across all
sectors. Additionally, Fleck played a key role in continuing to grow the
