"Jacques Whitford's reputation for being a great and growing consulting firm was an important factor in my decision to join the company, when I was looking at opportunities to get back into the environmental sector."
What I like most about my job is the interaction with people both externally and internally. Externally, I get to meet a number of great people in the government sector, and I also represent our company on several Boards and Councils along with senior government and industry contacts. This gives me many opportunities to raise the profile of Jacques Whitford as a reputable firm and a Canadian success story. Internally, I work with a dedicated and intelligent team of people throughout the company in Canada, the U.S., and internationally.
The culture at Jacques Whitford is fast-paced and entrepreneurial, with lots of change and challenge, and many wonderful people who share the challenges. The mix of fun and hard work appeals to me.
Since joining Jacques Whitford, I've built a much broader set of government contacts, and learned a great deal from my involvement in the development of the strategic plan for the company and the transition to our new structure.
In the future, I hope to continue building Jacques Whitford's government business, and to expand our brand in the market place.
"My advice to new employees at Jacques Whitford is to learn as much as you can about our business, get to know people professionally and socially, build your own internal network within the company and find a niche where you can excel. Work hard and look forward to personal growth in a dynamic environment filled with challenges, variety, and fun."
