About Our Guest:

Geoff Lobley, P. Tech. (Eng.), GSC has been an instructor in the School of Construction at SAIT for five years. He comes into construction naturally, as his grandfather was a builder in northern Saskatchewan, and his father supervised road construction crews.

His career started working for a small trade contractor, and he soon moved into the world of general contracting. He was part of the leadership and estimating team on projects ranging from multi-family, high-rise, commercial, retail, and industrial in Alberta and British Columbia. As a project manager, Geoff managed projects under several delivery methods, including Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, and Construction Management, as well as managing trades who worked under a unit-rate model.

Since transitioning into a career as an educator, Geoff has expanded his project vocabulary to include Lean methods and Integrated Project Delivery. By helping his students understand the different ways a project can be delivered, he hopes to continue positively impacting the construction industry.
