I have known Grant professionally since 1997. In 1999, during his time at TransAlta, Grant was a consummate professional who clearly communicated the client's project deliverable requirements for Alstom to provide replacement parts and materials for the Sundance Power Generating Station shut down projects. Realistic timelines and detailed work scope from Grant made my job easy in sourcing the materials and aftermarket parts from Alstom's supply chain of manufactures and fabricators, and arranging delivery to the Sundance Station for the trades to successfully complete the planned work scope on time.

Grant worked as QC coordinator when I was working on work flow optimization at Ledcor fabrication shop. He is highly dependable with communication skills and excellent work ethics. He is a reliable team player and takes on additional responsibilities when required. He showed great dedication to process flow mapping at Ledcor while efficiently managing other tasks as a QC/QA coordinator. He takes any opportunity to learn from others and to transfer his knowledge to his coworkers. Grant was a senior estimator when I worked with the estimating team at Willbros. He is a very detailed oriented estimator and he is diligent at his work. He understands the schedule and he always meets the deadlines besides mentoring other team members. He is highly ethical and capable of working accurately under pressure.
