"Joe has an exceptional track record of building businesses,
delivering operational excellence and consistent predictable
business results across a variety of global projects at a time when
the need for sustainable energy solutions has never been more
critical,'' said Ian L. Edwards,
President and CEO of SNC-Lavalin. ''He's a transformative leader
with a unique skill set and I look forward to working with him to
continue to drive our growth strategy forward of which the
continued success of our global nuclear business is an integral
component. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank
Sandy Taylor for his invaluable
contribution, during his eight-year tenure, to our organization and
particularly for his leadership in shaping our successful Nuclear
sector; I wish him a most enjoyable, well-deserved retirement and
all the best for the future.''
As the new President of Nuclear, Mr. St. Julian will be
responsible for continuing the successful expansion of the nuclear
business in the U.S.–one of three core growth regions—and around
