Background

About Aaron Wald

My qualifications include a Project Management Certificate, a Group Facilitation Certificate (leadership and coaching focus), Journeyman Welder and Journeyman Millwright Certificates (dual ticketed), and 25+ years of experience on both greenfield and brownfield construction, plant turnarounds, and industrial maintenance in Canada and internationally. Starting as a Welder/Millwright, I have spent the last 17 years as a Project Manager, Commissioning Lead, and Senior Maintenance Specialist/Coach. Highlights included: Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my ability to adapt to various cultures, environments and operating conditions in high stress environment while meeting schedule, budget and quality objectives with a constant focus on safety and the environment. Equally important, I lead by example in creating a respectful, inclusive, and safety-oriented culture, and excel at training, coaching, empowering, and engaging personnel in working efficiently while following safe work practices. I have also built collaborative relationships with clients, contractors, vendors, crews, and internal teams. This is a result of taking the time to understand people’s strengths, needs, and concerns, and finding ways to support them in achieving goals. This has increased productivity, morale, and accountability at all levels. Fostering communication and cooperation between multiple groups enables a fluid, unified, proactive approach in dealing with all types of challenges. Finally, I manage stress very well, and am known for my calm, competent presence while managing multiple contractors, multiple work scopes, and countless details.
