Bio
Ian Wagschal
I am happy to recommend Omar as an expert project manager of institutional sustainability projects. Omar has extensive experience in managing lighting upgrades and energy retrofit projects. He also has in-depth knowledge of the building automation industry (BAS). He has worked from both the perspective of an owner and a service contractor. This combined knowledge and experience made him invaluable in writing a recent RFP for a sustainability feasibility study. I would recommend Omar to manage sustainability-related construction projects.

I attend many a Facebook challenges, but it's not often that you get to know the other participants and receive thoughtful feedback. Omar and I were in one for a week where he very kindly and generously took the time to give gracious feedback to many -- even when he knew there was no business advantage for him (unlike so many who are just in groups to sell sell sell)!

I had the pleasure of working with Omar (Senior Project Manager) as his direct manager at Dalhousie University. Omar managed major capital construction projects at Dalhousie University with the most recent $38.5 million CHEB. He led development through all phases from hiring Architects/Engineers, design development, design review, and tender/bid submissions and reviews all the way to completion of the projects. He is an excellent project manager who demonstrated excellent project control and management of several complex institutional projects at Dalhousie University. He was able to understand and meet the needs of owners/end users and contractors, bridging the barriers that existed to get the job done in a timely manner and on budget. I have always trusted his judgement and relied heavily on him to get the projects executed in a timely manner while balancing the ever-changing needs of the end users of each project. Omar is also a leader in his community and it was my pleasure to get to know his family and community outside of work. Always an enjoyable engagement and thoughtful conversations.
