SUDBURY & TIMMINS – J.L. Richards & Associates Limited (JLR) is pleased to announce the appointment of two of its key employees into leadership positions within the firm.

JLR congratulates Matt Weaver, P.Eng., PMP, FEC, on his appointment to Chief of Project Delivery.

Weaver is an effective leader of large technical teams and is talented at solving complex management and technical challenges. He will oversee the robust Project Management, Proposal, Marketing & Communications, and Design Technology teams.

“Matt’s approachable and collaborative management style is an asset in advancing JLR’s business development, marketing, and project delivery methodologies,” says Saverio Parrotta, JLR CEO & President. “He’s been part of project delivery since its infancy at JLR. He has the proven track record of managing people and delivering complex projects to fruition.”

“I’m blessed to work at JLR—I love the team and collaborative atmosphere of the firm, and the commitment to clients,” says Howson. “In my new role, I want to build on the existing foundation of the department and further develop tools and processes to enhance project delivery at JLR.”

Howson  brings close to 30 years of related experience in architectural, construction, project management, estimating, health and safety, and teaching. She has managed building maintenance projects, educational, commercial and industrial construction projects, renovation projects as well as implemented and developed health and safety policies and programs. Her experience in managing staff dispersed across several locations is an asset as JLR’s seven offices are spread across Ontario.
