Expands Steve
Morriss role in continuous focus on growth
MONTREAL, Feb. 10, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin
Group Inc. (TSX: SNC) is pleased to announce an expanded role for
Steve Morriss – who has recently
joined the company as President, Middle
East and Asia Pacific – to
include executive leadership of the Latin
America region as well as the Mining & Metallurgy
business globally. In addition, following the announcement of the
strategic divestiture of the Oil & Gas business, Craig Muir, President, Resources, will be
leaving the company at the end of March
2021. Effective immediately, Steve
Morriss will take over executive leadership of the Resources
Oil & Gas operations until closing of the sale to Kentech
Corporate Holdings Limited, targeting closure in Q2 2021.
Craig Muir is working closely
with Steve Morriss on a smooth
handover to ensure continuity of the business and
operations. The Resources Oil and Gas leadership will report
to Steve Morriss with immediate
effect, continuing to focus on our clients and delivering on our
commitments.
"Steve's expanded role reflects the quality and depth of his
experience in building businesses, and he is uniquely qualified to
lead diverse regions – from Asia
Pacific to the Middle East
and now to Latin America. With the
bulk of the Mining & Metallurgy operations in Latin America, he is also perfectly suited to
oversee that business line while collaborating with the leadership
in Canada and the US, where
M&M also operates. Steve will focus on driving growth
opportunities for SNC-Lavalin's diversified engineering services
offering across the Company's high potential areas,'' said Ian L
Edwards, President and CEO, SNC-Lavalin.
"I would also like to thank Craig
Muir for his leadership and tireless efforts over the past
two years in de-risking Resources, transforming the Mining &
Metallurgy operations into a Services business line, and refocusing
and rightsizing the Oil & Gas business to a point where it
increased external interest and became attractive for prospective
buyers. This was a challenging task that was critical in driving
our forward strategy to focus our efforts on growing our high
potential core Engineering Services business," continued
Ian L. Edwards.
