25 Years in Industrial Safety, Quality, and Operational Excellence — Built in the Field, Proven at Scale
After 25 years working across high-risk, complex operations, I’ve built my career at the intersection of safety, quality, operations, and human performance. My work spans construction, industrial electrical, renewables (solar, wind, BESS), manufacturing, inspection and testing services, infrastructure, utilities, and energy—across Canada and the U.S.
I’ve led safety and quality from the ground up: mobilizing projects, stabilizing operations during transition, building integrated management systems, and supporting leaders and crews where work actually happens.
🔹 Core areas of expertise:
- Integrated Management Systems (ISO 9001, 45001, 14001)
- Safety program design that is usable, legible, and defensible
- Incident investigation, root cause analysis, and learning reviews
- Risk, claims, and return-to-work management
- Contractor management, pre-qualification, and client compliance
- Fleet safety, industrial hygiene, and high-risk work controls
- Audits, corrective actions, and continuous improvement
🔹 Beyond traditional safety
My background spans Operational Excellence, Lean Six Sigma, systems thinking, and data-driven decision-making. I’ve designed safety and quality systems that integrate with operations—not sit beside them—using practical metrics, dashboards, and feedback loops that leaders actually use.
🔹 How I work
- Practical over theoretical
- Clear writing that drives action
- Strong field presence and credibility with crews
- Direct, respectful challenge when systems don’t serve people
- Focus on learning, not blame
I believe safety improves fastest when it is treated as a core operational discipline, not a compliance function.
If you’re working to simplify systems, strengthen leadership, or make safety and quality truly operational, I’m always open to a conversation.
