Bruce Matthews, executive director of ACECOntario is retiring and as he looks back on his career, he is also looking to strengthen the future of the organization.
Angela GismondiPHOTO COURTESY OF ACEC—ONTARIO - Association of Consulting Engineering Companies — Ontario executive director Bruce Matthews will be retiring at the end of June.
“COVID, in some respects, despite the challenges and despite the tragedies that happened, for a lot of folks it was a bit of a blessing for the industry because governments decided to spend a good bit of money on infrastructure as a means of supporting the economy. A lot of those projects are still ongoing and will take a few years to reach fruition.
“Even in that five-year span of time there has been some interesting changes in the way that the industry interacts with its client base,” said Matthews, referring to public sector owners. “Often the language in that would have either provisions relating to indemnification or aspects of unlimited liability or the standard of work was unrealistic and unachievable, all done such that the client gets the risk off of their table and transfers it to the consulting firm,” said Matthews.
Engagement has always been an issue for the organization, he added. ACEC—Ontario is a small organization from a staff perspective and needs volunteers.
