FOR COUNCIL
Geoffrey Kneller, P.Eng.
Personal Statement
APEGA will soon be recognizing 100 years of service to Albertans and our professions. I want Alberta engineers and geoscientists leading the way for another 100 years of economic development in our province, and I’ll work toward that by serving you on Council. Albertans depend on access to safe, cost- effective engineering and geoscience services, and APEGA’s Council must collaborate with our next provincial government to pass a new act with the regulatory tools we need to support public safety. Through regulatory experience as a volunteer chair of APEGA’s Enforcement Review Committee, I’ve seen how important it is to work with the province to update our legislation, so that together we can discourage unlicensed, unregulated, and unsafe practice in Alberta. I’m currently a professional engineer and a Responsible Member for R.J. Burnside & Associates Ltd., consulting on municipal infrastructure projects. I have the experience to contribute from professional practice across several Alberta industries: oil and gas, high tech, public service, and engineering consulting. Being an APEGA member has given me fantastic career opportunities, including providing Albertans with shelter while we recovered from the 2013 flood, developing affordable housing for the most vulnerable in our province, and leading major infrastructure projects to keep our communities
growing. I also offer 22 years of experience in leadership, planning, and public relations, developed as a Canadian Forces reservist. Reach out on LinkedIn, Twitter, or email if you want to discuss how we, together, can make sure APEGA members lead Alberta’s next century of economic development.
