WiRE meet-ups present a welcoming and casual opportunity to meet peers, share ideas and opportunities, and educate colleagues about projects and initiatives of interest to the group. All women working in a field related to renewable energy are invited, as are students and developing professionals who are looking for perspectives on joining the renewable energy sector.

The featured speaker, Meredith Sargent, is VP Commercial Performance for Surespan. She has practiced as a lawyer specializing in the engineering and construction industry, consulted in risk management and project management processes, and directly managed procurement operations for an EPC technology contractor.

With over 25 years’ experience developing and negotiating project contracts, managing claims processes and resolving disputes, Meredith has provided legal services to all sectors of the construction industry while in private practice, has consulted to BC Transmission Corporation and BC Hydro Transmission Engineering between 2007 and 2010 on project risk management and project commercial management processes, and now combines an in-house lawyer role with VP Commercial Performance for Surespan, a construction contractor working in renewable energy, specifically on wind energy and hydro projects.
