Stantec : appoints Brian Yates to Regional Leader role in British Columbia

Brian Yates has been named regional leader for Stantec's British Columbia team, accountable for the region's operations, financial performance, and overseeing community engagement activities.

'I am excited to be joining Stantec and look forward to supporting our teams throughout British Columbia,' says Brian Yates. 'I am looking forward to expanding our business, maintaining and building relationships with clients, and spending time supporting our communities.'

Brian previously held the role of vice president Environment & Geosciences at SNC-Lavalin. Brian has more than 26 years of experience in leading large-scale environmental assessments and consultation efforts for a range of energy, ports, mining, and linear infrastructure clients. He is a recognized leader in the renewable energy industry in British Columbia, and previously supported SNC-Lavalin's Clean Power business as key account manager for BC Hydro, where he was responsible for coordinating efforts across several business lines. Brian is a member of the BC College of Applied Biology, and also serves on the board of ACEC-BC and Clean Energy BC.

'Brian is a strong leader and is a welcome addition to Stantec and our British Columbia operations,' says Stantec executive vice president, Russ Wlad. 'Brian's work in the community and his experience in our key business lines will set our teams up for success as they continue to do work that enhances the communities we serve.'

As regional leader, Brian will be taking a more active role in business development, building on his existing relationships and knowledge of communities across British Columbia. With over 900 staff in 10 offices located throughout the province, connecting with communities is a key growth driver for Stantec in BC. The complexity of design needs in the region is mirrored by Stantec's equally varied practice areas available in British Columbia including Buildings, Community Development, Environmental Services, Power, Mining, Oil and Gas, Transportation, and Water.
