Chair Profile: Greg Lingelbach

Professional

As an electrician at the age of 21, Greg Lingelbach was already a leader. His ability to gain the respect of those around him became apparent to his managers and mentors early on. Greg obtained his degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan and went on to hold leadership positions at Suncor and Trans Alta, rising to the level of Director of Plant Operations in Fort McMurray.

Greg has led hundreds of staff and consultants, re-organized, drove change to operational processes and assumed responsibility for $100 million annual budgets. Throughout his roles, Greg has demonstrated a fierce commitment to the individual growth of his team members utilizing coaching and human capital tools to inspire them to achieve extraordinary results.

Leaving behind the executive role with a large corporation, Greg became a reliability consultant, eventually joining the firm of ACM Facility Services.
