James combines his business skills and technical talents to provide top tier regulatory and environmental assessment services for a diverse range of energy sector clients. He specializes in transmission pipelines and powerlines and has experience with new builds, operations, and decommissioning and abandonment.
As a vice president with our Environmental Services team, James is an active participant in Canada’s energy transition journey. Focusing on carbon capture and storage (CCS), he recently led the preparation of a CCS regulatory strategy for an Alberta-based developer. He likes nothing better than collaborating with clients and colleagues to transform ideas and concepts into viable strategies, completing projects while reducing their environmental footprint.
Though now based in a Canadian prairie city, James was never far from the coast while growing up around the United Kingdom. He takes every opportunity to be by the ocean again—Tofino in British Columbia and Cannon Beach in Oregon are his favorite locations. He also enjoys camping, skiing and hiking with his family, cheering on the Calgary Flames, and scenic motorcycle rides through the mountains.
