J.L. Richards names new municipal infrastructure & planning market chief
Engineers J.L. Richards & Associates have announced the appointment of a new municipal infrastructure & planning market chief.
Taking over the role is Jane Wilson. She is considered an accomplished professional in the field of engineering and planning, and is passionate about ensuring that communities have access to safe and reliable infrastructure. In her new role, she will focus on enhancing the firm’s services and building strong relationships both within the firm and externally, to lead the expansion of JLR’s client base in Ontario.
“My interest in building sustainable community infrastructure was sparked in the wake of the Walkerton water tragedy,” she said. “Now with over a decade as a key player building JLR’s Guelph office, I’m excited to be a driving force for clients seeking to meet current and future community infrastructure and planning needs.”
Wilson has played an instrumental role in growing the company’s office in Guelph, and earned the Customer Service Award on behalf of JLR at the recent Guelph Chamber of Commerce Awards of Excellence.
“Jane’s knowledge of the municipal sector, broad industry experience, and extensive network is a tremendous asset as we continue to expand and grow our services in the municipal infrastructure, planning, and transportation sectors,” said Ryan Matthews, M.Sc., P.Eng., executive director and outgoing municipal infrastructure & planning market chief.
J.L. Richards provides fully integrated engineering, architecture, planning, and project management services to clients in the private and public sectors throughout Canada and internationally.
