Shilo Neveu
Canada Regional Director Health & Safety
Quanta Services
Shilo Neveu serves as the Executive Vice President of Health and Safety for the Valard Construction Group of Companies and holds the role of Quanta Services Regional Safety Director - Canada. Shilo's educational background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental and Conservation Sciences, a Bachelor of Law degree (now referred to as a Juris Doctorate), successful completion of the Alberta Bar admission course (although currently a non-practicing lawyer), and designations as a Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP) and a Canadian Certified Utility Safety Professional (CUSP). But don’t let the “attorney” throw you off!
Shilo started his career working his way up through the trenches– he knows what it feels like to wear steel-toed boots in -40°F weather. Shilo has overseen HSE operations on projects ranging from $1 Million to over $1 Billion dollars throughout Canada. It’s this experience that helped him develop a deep understanding of HSE management systems and how “people” are the key to their success.
Only after Shilo cut his teeth in the field did he achieve his Juris Doctorate and drove himself to becoming a successful attorney in labor and employment law with a specialty in occupational health and safety. With clients ranging from fortune 100 companies to “ma and pa” operations, these experiences refined his technical OHS knowledge to a razor-sharp edge.
Driven by a passion for knowledge sharing, Shilo engages in teaching , writing, volunteering, and lecturing. Collaborating with esteemed labor, employment, and health & safety organizations across Canada and the USA, Shilo actively imparts his expertise while embracing the opportunity to learn from a diverse group of individuals. People see his passion for safety and it’s hard to ignore…it’s even infectious!
