SNC-Lavalin has announced that, effective 5 October, 2015, Neil Bruce will become president and CEO, and a member of the board of directors, succeeding Robert G. Card.
"The upcoming handover and smooth transition from Bob Card to Neil Bruce, currently COO, comes at an important stage in SNC-Lavalin's development," stated Lawrence Stevenson, chairman of the board of directors. "Bob's tenure left a strong legacy during a critical time for the company, with a far-reaching transformation that changed the face of the executive team, repositioned the company strategically through the sale of AltaLink and the acquisition of Kentz among others, as well as turned its ethics and compliance system into a benchmark for the industry. We are in the right position to become a Tier-1 engineering and construction firm going forward and on behalf of the board, I thank Bob for his leadership and tireless dedication. He will remain as an advisor to the board and CEO.
Bruce has over 30 years of extensive experience in the engineering and construction industry and a comprehensive understanding of the four sectors in which SNC-Lavalin operates. Since joining the company in January 2013, Bruce transformed the oil and gas business – from a niche 3000-employee player into a 20,000-strong, world-class organization – before being named COO in April 2015. Since then, he oversaw the company's engineering and construction operations to make them more efficient and effective, and deliver global-caliber expertise in local markets, to better serve clients. Before joining SNC-Lavalin, Bruce held a variety of leadership roles, including executive director and COO at AMEC, where he directed the company's international expansion and high-value consultancy, engineering and project management services.
The position of COO will not be refilled and the presidents of the company's four business sectors will continue to report to Bruce.
