SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER
Gary is a Mechanical Engineer and Senior Project Manager with over 30 years of experience in engineering design, project management, engineering management, construction, and plant operations. A native Edmontonian, Gary started his career in the field as a construction contract field administrator. His subsequent time as a reliability engineer gave him full appreciation as to how chronic maintenance and operational issues could be prevented with good engineering design.
Working in engineering consulting, Gary has progressed from technical design through various leadership roles with significant experience in project management. He has managed projects ranging from small to billion-dollar major projects with a team of 250 working in four countries. Gary prides himself on creating high performing teams by selecting strong team members with excellent leadership skills.

A cornerstone of his philosophy towards successful project management is strong integration with the Client project team to help approach the project from the Client’s perspective. Consistent communication ensures clear alignment on the execution strategy to support the Client through the steps of project approval, construction, commissioning, and close-out.
