Electrical Joint Training Committee Appoints New Managing Director

January 31, 2018

The Electrical Joint Training Committee has named Phil Davis to provide executive leadership for the organization as Managing Director.
Phil assumes his new position on January 22, 2018. He succeeds Andy Cleven, who has served as Training Director at the EJTC since 2004. Andy will remain as Training Director Emeritus with responsibility for special projects until his retirement date of June 29, 2018.

The EJTC is a partnership between the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 213 and the Electrical Contractors Association of BC. It operates a state-of-the-art training facility in Port Coquitlam.

“The Board would like to thank Andy for his leadership over many years,” said EJTC President Graham Trafford. “He has been instrumental in developing the industry-leading programs now being delivered to the ECA/IBEW 213 workforce. He played an essential role in the growth of our Entry Level Trades Training Program, the development of the ‘Mentorship Matters’ program, the construction of the new Green Skills Campus, and the selection and training of our outstanding staff team.”

“Andy has also been active at the national level, as an advisor to federal agencies on trades standards in the electrical sector, and in developing program standards for training in emerging technologies such as electric vehicle infrastructure and photovoltaic solar.”

Phil Davis has spent almost 20 years in the training and workforce development area of the electrical energy sector. He holds a Masters in Business Administration as well as a Bachelor of Arts Degree. Like Andy Cleven, Phil is a certified journeyperson electrician with a Red Seal designation.
He has extensive managerial experience, ranging from the oversight of multi-million-dollar training budgets to working closely with a management and training team that delivered thousands of training hours annually to a diverse client base.

“We want to welcome Phil to his new position as Managing Director,” said EJTC Vice-President Adam Van Steinburg. “Phil has deep experience as a trainer and a manager. In the two years since he joined the EJTC, he has made his mark on the organization in business and program development and the creation of new partnerships.”

“The EJTC has a national and international profile as an innovator and an excellent technical trainer. With Phil Davis at the helm we are well positioned to grow that reputation.”
