Ryan Krutzfeldt,VP of Operations at Collicutt Energy Services.
Collicutt Energy Services was founded in 1986 by Stephen Collicutt. It grew from a single service truck to employing a high of 850 employees across western Canada and the United States, becoming one of the largest power generation sales and service providers in the West. Collicutt Energy Services went through structural changes over the years and is currently an employer of 200 employees and prides itself on being a family run business with ties to the community. It is a leader in the power generation, well servicing and natural gas compression industry with a full range of services including design, sales, servicing, rentals, and parts with locations in Western Canada & the USA. Collicutt is a leading manufacturer of custom power generation equipment. We engineer, design, and manufacture turnkey power solutions. Ryan shared many examples of the types of power solutions that have been designed by the company, including 5 MW powerplants in Alberta that are designed to support grid stability. They have the capability to design products to meet the extreme needs of those working in the Yukon and Egypt.
Stephen Collicutt shared that the company tries to do as much possible using Canadian resources- we have the capacity, materials, and knowledge and resources to meet the emerging needs in this sector. He stressed the importance to work together as a country and seize opportunities that arise.
Many members took advantage of the opportunity to take a tour of the facility.
