At the age of sixteen, Rahim Ahmad<\/strong>, a Civil Engineer in our Saskatoon office, moved from Surrey, BC to Warman, SK, which at the time was Canada\u2019s fastest-growing municipality. In Warman, Rahim\u2019s passion for engineering and construction blossomed. Watching the community develop had a significant impact on Rahim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since completing his engineering degree and joining the company in 2013, Rahim has worked on a diverse portfolio of municipal and industrial projects, including\u00a0subdivision developments<\/a>,\u00a0raw water intakes<\/a>,\u00a0lift stations<\/a>,\u00a0water treatment plants<\/a>,\u00a0lagoons,\u00a0and landfills<\/a>. He takes pride in cultivating relationships with clients and colleagues, and believes that nurturing these relationships is critical to successful project delivery. It was this people-first attitude that also helped Rahim successfully fulfill his role as the Acting Manager of our Fort McMurray office, a role he undertook from August 2020 to March 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Rahim is also passionate about serving the community. Since returning to Saskatoon earlier this year, Rahim has volunteered with the Saskatoon Open Door Society<\/a>, an organization that helps newcomers to Saskatoon connect, integrate, and build strong reciprocal relationships within the community. Rahim was recently elected to their Board of Directors<\/a> and is serving a two-year term from June 2021 to June 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer, Rahim joined the\u00a0Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association<\/a>\u00a0for a blood donation drive and helped distribute water and snacks to the vulnerable during a July heatwave in Saskatoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When not working or volunteering, Rahim spends time with his wife, Alia, and daughter, Shaista. Together, they enjoy evenings and weekends exploring different walking trails in and around Saskatoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
