As the Division Manager of the Transportation Major Projects group, Simon Church P.Eng. leads multidisciplinary teams through complex infrastructure projects across British Columbia. He joined Binnie in 2017 as an Assistant Project Manager and progressed into increasingly senior roles, reflecting his technical expertise, dedication, and leadership. From planning and design through to construction and closeout, Simon is experienced in overseeing Owner’s Engineer teams and has worked on some of the most recognizable projects in the Lower Mainland, including the Patullo Bridge Replacement Project and the Alex Fraser Bridge Capacity Improvement Project. His interest in civil engineering began at a young age and naturally led him to study engineering at the University of British Columbia where he completed co-op terms in some unique places like Nunavut, Alaska, and Northwest Territories.

Simon was the first hire in the Transportation Major Projects Division and now oversees a team of staff and contractors working on some of the most impactful projects in British Columbia such as the Fraser River Tunnel Project, the Horseshoe Langdale Infrastructure Program, and Roberts Bank Terminal 2. In his free time, Simon enjoys golfing and reading.

“What I love about my job is getting to make an impact on people’s lives through my projects. When we completed the Alex Fraser Bridge Capacity Improvement Project, members of the public were raving about saving 30 mins a day round trip on their commutes. Making an impact is what gets me out of bed in the morning.”
