About Our Guest:

Born in Ukraine, Mykola embarked on his journey to become a mechanical engineer before migrating to Toronto in 2002. His initial foray into the Canadian job market saw him working on a construction site alongside a Ukrainian plumber. His determination and passion to construction led to his enrollment at George Brown College in 2004 to study Construction Engineering Technology.

An influential figure in his academic journey was Clint Kissoon, a construction cost estimation professor, who guided him to join the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (CIQS) in 2006. Mykola achieved his Professional Quantity Surveyor designation in 2014, demonstrating his steadfast commitment to his craft.

Upon graduation, Mykola's professional career took flight as a Junior Estimator for a family-owned design-builder firm in Barrie, Ontario. His career trajectory included roles in prestigious firms such as AECOM, AMEC, Turner & Townsend, Faithful + Gould an SNC Lavalin company, and finally EllisDon. Mykola contributed to the Toronto-York-Spadina Subway Extension, Maple Leaf Foods Processing Facility, Bay Adelaide East Tower, and the Darlington Nuclear Power Plant Refurbishment.

Today, Mykola serves as the Prime Contract Director for the EllisDon-EBC Joint Venture Saguenay, Quebec office, continuing his legacy of QS excellence.
