FOR COUNCIL Francesco (Frank) Mannarino, P.Eng.
I was born in and have lived most of my life in Edmonton, and have worked for industry mostly in the surrounding area. For as long as I can remember, I have had an interest in science and its applications. This naturally led to engineering as a career choice and I entered the University of Alberta in 1984, completing a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering in 1988. After having garnered some industry experience, I
I received my P.Eng. designation from APEGA in 1990. Since I have been working in Edmonton proper, I have established closer links with APEGA. Most recently, I was part of the investigation team that reviewed APEGA’s policies and procedures in response to an unauthorized information release. In my current role as Senior Vice President at EPCOR, I have been involved in both industry and the community through various board positions: • Board of Directors, TELUS World of Science (Current) • Advisory Board, Western Energy Institute (Current) • Board of Directors, Canadian Electricity Association (Past) • Board of Directors, Edmonton Waste Management Centre of Excellence (Past) I am interested in getting more involved in the oversight and governance of the APEGA professions and as such the opportunity to serve APEGA Council supports this objective. I believe that my many years of industry experience across industries and companies will support APEGA in helping to guide the professions in the years ahead.
completed an MBA, also at the University of Alberta, in 2001. My work experience has been quite varied, having included chemicals, refining, upgrading (oil sands), and the water and electric utility industries throughout my 28-year career. I have held both engineering and technical, operations, business, and executive leadership roles in several companies. During that time, I have had the opportunity to work with skilled engineers of all disciplines and got a first-hand understanding of how the engineering profession operates in a large industrial setting.
