Company Overview
We Are a 24-Hour-Per-Day Enterprise
In today’s era of seamless economic and social engagement that transcends nationalities, political boundaries and geographical distance, MWH, now part of Stantec, is truly one global community. We are a 24-hour-per-day enterprise. Distances are collapsing. Globalisation is going forward. We are better, stronger and more capable because of the blending of cultures, work ethic, intellect and education – and together we accept our solemn responsibility.
Our goal is to remain the gold standard of the water and natural resources sectors – where engineering and construction are only part of what we do.
As a fully integrated worldwide company, our organisation and our people are aligned with the critical needs of a fast-changing planet. Our global platform allows us to move the best technologies around the world to the point of need for our clients, no matter where they are. Our position and service offerings in countries around the world are broad, deep and respected by both our peers and our clients.
At MWH, design with community in mind is more than a feel-good statement. It is our commitment to more sustainable and efficient use of resources in our own communities and throughout the world. It’s about doing our work better to help ensure that we keep our planet blue for future generations.

Continuing Our Legacy of Engineering Innovation
A rich and diverse history, our heritage stems from three companies that joined to form MWH as it is known today: James M. Montgomery Consulting Engineers (JMM), Watson Hawksley and Harza Engineering Company. These mergers – JMM and Watson Hawksley in 1992 and Montgomery Watson and Harza in 2001 – galvanized the company’s rise to prominence on the world platform where we are now a true leader and a formidable competitor in the water infrastructure industry.
