Bio
Melissa Peneycad
Peter is a tireless advocate for sustainability. For the past several months, I’ve had the pleasure of working with him to advance a major initiative to move the needle for sustainability forward in Canada. Peter has a unique ability to combine both technical and interpersonal skills to get the job done. He’s is exactly the kind of person you want in your corner. Peter is business savvy, intuitive, a great engineer, innovative & a creative thinker/problem-solver. I highly recommend him--any organization would do well to have him at the decision-making table.
Oscar Tirado, M. Eng.
I met Peter during the pursuit of his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Civil Engineering at McMaster University. We both participated in Dr. Samir Chidiac's course: Advanced Concrete Materials - Repair and Maintenance. As a fellow graduate, Peter proved to be extremely knowledgeable in the engineering practice thanks to his rich professional working experience. Additionally, he demonstrated a character of leadership and collaboration, but most importantly, amazing mentoring skills. Peter was always prepared to tackle the challenges of a graduate level course with state-of-the-art knowledge regarding concrete technology and structural engineering. Years later, I had the honour and fortune of working under his direct supervision in the Engineering Project Management department. Peter, as the Professional Engineer that he is, always conducted himself with the highest standards of professionalism, teamwork and success with employees and clients. Peter also supervised several fellow co-workers' work and would provide integral mentoring accordingly. The increase in the team's productivity and success was substantially tangible. Peter can improve any person's technical capabilities and ensure the success by means of well-proven expertise. Furthermore, his knowledge in cloud services and freeware implementation turned out to be a key factor in speeding up processes with high-quality results while reinforcing a collaborative, learning and challenging environment. You should not miss out on Peter. Thank you, Peter!
