The NAC Team

I started with NAC in March of 2008 as a Mechanical Superintendent at the Aylmer Ethanol Plant. I have had the opportunity to work across the Province of Ontario on various Water and Wastewater Treatment plants as well as some in Western Canada. I enjoy the people first philosophy that NAC promotes and am fortunate to work with some of the best people in the business. With 37 years of experience in the Construction industry, I enjoy working with and mentoring the next generation of builders. The future is changing but we still need good builders for the much-needed infrastructure of this country and at NAC, our employees have the opportunity to be a part of building for the future. Recently I have accepted a promotion to the Mechanical Operations Manager at our Head Office in Morriston, Ont. I look forward to this final chapter of my career to work with all of our people and projects across the country and continue to build on the strengths of this great company.

I began my journey with NAC in 2009, focusing on Business Development and Proposals. Over the years, I've seen firsthand how our team’s dedication and expertise have made NAC a leader in the Canadian water and wastewater treatment market. One of the aspects I appreciate most about NAC is our ability to self-perform civil, mechanical, and electrical work. This seamless integration across disciplines allows us to operate as a cohesive family, ensuring quality and efficiency on every project. The fact that we are 100% employee-owned adds a unique dimension to our work culture. It fosters a sense of ownership and commitment that you won't find in larger, more hierarchical companies. What I find most fulfilling is knowing that the work we do has a real impact on communities. By providing clean water solutions across Canada, we contribute to a healthier environment and better quality of life for many. In my current role, I enjoy the opportunity to showcase NAC's unique capabilities to clients, highlighting how our integrated approach and skilled workforce set us apart in the industry.

My journey at NAC began through a co-op internship program while I was studying at the University of British Columbia. In April 2019, I was hired as a Project Coordinator (Co-op) for the Arbutus Water Treatment Plant Project Phase 2. Since then, I have grown to appreciate my experiences and opportunities here at NAC. Over the past five years with NAC, I have had the opportunity to work on various projects that have contributed significantly to my professional growth and development. Currently, I am proud to be a part of the South End WPCC project as an Assistant Project Manager. The one key thing I truly value here at NAC is being recognized and appreciated for my qualities, contributions, and perspectives. Embracing individuality allows for creativity, innovation, and a sense of belonging that goes beyond mere statistics or labels.

I’ve maintained a relationship in some capacity or another with NAC for over 20 years; starting as a subcontractor providing control panel fabrication and SCADA integration services, to eventually joining the team nearly 6 years ago as a Commissioning Supervisor.  Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside an excellent team of Managers, Administrators and Tradespeople throughout various projects, in an effort to deliver high quality municipal water & wastewater infrastructure projects to customers in locations throughout Canada.  I strongly believe that I’m at my best as a professional in the high-paced, high pressure environment that typically accompanies these types of projects.  In my role as a Commissioning Supervisor with NAC, I’m provided the opportunity every day to make the best use of my personal strengths; including critical thinking, problem solving, client relations, and proficiency with process instrumentation & controls systems, to make important contributions to the development of this critical infrastructure and, by extension, to Canadian society as a whole.  There’s a value & reward in that that is difficult to express, but it makes coming to work worthwhile.

I have built a career in safety here at NAC, starting as a junior Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Advisor and through hard work and recognized successes by NAC, I am now within a leadership role showing others that your path is in your hands here at NAC. Currently my role is working in many teams and providing guidance in the aspect of safety – be it in bidding, engineering, building or mentorship with all aspects of employees and stakeholders associated with NAC. I have seen many different employers out there in the construction industry and I can confidently say NAC takes HSE seriously and is something they build on. 

As the Lead Technical Procurement Specialist at North America Construction, I bring over 21 years of experience to our dynamic team. My journey began in 2003 as an Office Administrative Assistant, advancing through roles as the Purchasing Administrative Assistant, Buyer, Procurement Specialist and the Lead Technical Procurement Specialist. This progression has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of procurement processes and supply chain management. Reporting to the Purchasing & Contracts Manager, I procure contracts for technical equipment, materials and services, ensuring alignment with plans, specifications, budget, and timelines. I am committed to driving excellence in our procurement processes and supporting our project teams as we continue to build a brighter future. I am grateful for the opportunities I've had at North America Construction and for the support of my colleagues who have been instrumental in my professional development. I enjoy working at North America Construction because of the supportive team environment that fosters both professional and personal growth. Also, the recognition of employee contributions and the balanced approach to work and personal life further enhance my satisfaction and pride in being part of this esteemed organization.

Piotr joined NAC in 2019 in the capacity of the Corporate HSE Manager. For the first four years had been engaged in improving NAC’s Health & Safety, Environment and Quality (HSEQ) performance through systems, programs, and confirmatory auditing. In 2023, Piotr accepted the challenge of transforming NAC’s business systems to fit evolving construction industry realities and market conditions. With his process improvement mentality, Piotr acts as a go-to architect, integrator, coach, and controller in NAC’s pursuit of operational excellence.

My journey at NAC began in 2012 as a junior estimator before I even finished post-secondary school. I held a co-op position during my studies and eventually returned to take on a permanent role as a Field Engineer. Since then, I've traveled across the country with the company, embracing every opportunity that came my way. I've made some of my best memories with the amazing people I've met along the way, and I’m confident that these friendships will last a lifetime. I’m now based at their head office in Morriston, Ontario, where I focus on alternative delivery markets.

I began my journey at NAC as a tradesperson in carpentry. My initial role involved working with the formwork crew on job 174, the Lakeview OBM1 upgrade, where I eventually took on rough carpentry tasks, including parapet work. This hands-on experience was invaluable and laid a solid foundation for my career. Soon after, I was offered the opportunity to transition into estimating, starting as a junior estimator. Over time, I’ve progressed to my current role, supported by the growth opportunities and encouraging environment at NAC. I truly enjoy being surrounded by talented colleagues and the creative flexibility in problem-solving, which make every project both challenging and rewarding.

I joined NAC in January 2023 as a Project Coordinator for the Tofino WWTP, Conveyance and Outfall upgrades. Over the past year and a half I have been coordinating work on the Conveyance portion of the project. My days are a mix of coordinating work in the field, working with subcontractors, engineers and the client, creating work plans, conducting quality inspections and testing. Each day presents new challenges that arise and constant learning opportunities.

I am Dave Kornack, 22 year veteran of NAC. I am currently a Project Superintendent coming up through the ranks as a Labourer, Carpenter Appr, Journeyman Carpenter, Foreman & Civil Superintendent over that span. I enjoy NAC for the various project challenges we face and overcome as a Team. The people are what have attracted me to NAC and continues to inspire me to develop the newer generation as the future of North America Construction.

Started with NAC in 1998 as an Electrical Foreman. Over the years I have conducted roles such as Electrical Superintendent, National Electrical and Commissioning Operations Manager. Since 2013 I have been performing the role Sr Project Manager responsible for the oversight and direction of multiple projects in Western Canada. It has been an rewarding career path with personal growth and resulting promotions. Over the years, I have been involved in well over 100 water and wastewater infrastructure projects. By working hard each and every day with a keen sense of business acumen, leadership and management overall success and client satisfaction have been achieved while gaining many friendships within the overall NAC Team.

I started in 2021 working from home in North Vancouver, and dealing virtually with our client & engineering partners, and, since we were in a Global Pandemic, getting to know my NAC colleagues through Zoom and Teams Calls.

I spend my time working to develop relationships with NAC’s clients and designers all across the country. Through our Alternative Delivery group (ADCan), I get to ensure that NAC is a relevant player in growing markets, and prominent in an increasing variety of project delivery models.

I enjoy working at NAC because we are a refreshing mix of experienced master builders and young talented construction professionals. It is easy to promote NAC in the market, because we continually deliver high quality construction execution services and offer solutions to our increasingly broad range of clients. I get to work with First Nations, Utility Operators, Technology Providers, Clients and Communities from all over the country and promote the excellent work of our skilled construction teams.

I first started at NAC as a Junior Administrative Assistant in the Corporate HSE Department while I was a student. This opportunity inspired me to pursue a degree in Occupational Health & Safety and propelled me on my career path. I’ve held several roles since then and am now a field-based Sr. HSE Advisor providing support to our projects. Working in the Construction Industry allows me to continue to learn new things in a dynamic environment. Working at NAC lets me do that with a supportive team to help guide me through it!
