RUUD WOUTERS PORTFOLIO | February 03, 2015

Introduction:

I would like to take the opportunity to introduce

myself.

My name is Ruud Wouters and I was born on

December 09, 1978 in the city of Eindhoven, the

Netherlands.

I lived in the small Dutch town of Gerwen with my

mother Truus, father Peter, and brother Frank.

My primary education was at the local public school

in Gerwen -St Clements primary school. Most of my

time was spent playing soccer with my friends at

the local soccer club RKGSV and spending time with

my family. On Saturday mornings and school

holidays I usually could be found working in the

family business Smulders Staalwerken (Smulders

Steel construction) doing various jobs and helping

out wherever I was needed.

After successfully completing my primary

education, I moved on to get my secondary

education at the Eckart College in Eindhoven. I

graduated from here on June 22, 1995.

I continued my post-secondary education at the

MAS (Agricultural College) in Boxtel, where I took

Environmental studies. After one year I decided to

pursue a different career path.

I enrolled in a Dutch government sponsored

program to learn the basics skills needed for the

Electrical trade in the Netherlands. After being

enrolled in this program for one year, I passed the

final exam on November 30, 1998.

I obtained a job as an apprentice electrician at

Contact Electrotechniek in Lieshout, the

Netherlands on January 01, 1998.

I continued to educate myself on the subject of

Electrical Installations and enrolled in ROC

Continued Studies in Eindhoven and passed my first

Course on October 08, 1999 with an Assistant

Electrician New Structure Installation certificate.

While continuing to work at Contact, focusing on

Industrial, agricultural, commercial and residential

installation, I also studied at ROC in Eindhoven for

the next 2 years. I passed my second Course and

became an Electrician Heavy Duty Power

Installations.

My role at Contact during this period changed from

being an Apprentice to a Lead Electrician. I worked

independently installing and maintaining light and

power installations for Industrial, Agricultural,

Commercial and Residential. As well as supervising

apprentice electricians, I continued my studies at

ROC and passed my Master Electricians Heavy Duty

Installations on January 21, 2003

I continued to work at Contact Elecktrotheniek and

educate myself in the Electrical Technician Course.

Regrettably, I did not complete this course due to

the opportunity for me to move Canada in August

2005

I arrived in Canada on a travel and work visa and

started working at Darlington’s Wiring and

Plumbing in Wycome, Ontario. My role was an

apprentice electrician concentrating on Residential

and Agricultural installations. I worked for

Darington’s for almost 2 years from August 2005 to

August 2007. In this period I also passed my CFQ

and received my red seal Electrical license.

In September of 2007, I was ready for a new

challenge and was given the opportunity to start

working for Tiltran Services. This was a company in

Tillsonburg, ON that specialized in installing and

maintaining High Voltage Electrical Installations for

Commercial Industrial and Utilities. At this

company, I started out as an apprentice and

worked my way up to becoming a Lead Electrician.

Tiltran Services eventually became Ascent Solutions

Inc.

Due to the scale of projects that Ascent Solutions

Inc., the company grew. As a result, I received the

new position of Site Supervisor on July 08, 2013.

Ascent’s business focus shifted and became more

geared to the renewable industry as it was

becoming a major player in the Ontario market.

My position within the company changed to

Manager of Site Supervisors on May 12, 2014.

Unfortunately the nature of the renewable work

puts a strain on family life, as you are constantly

travelling. Therefore, in order to spent more time

with my Spouse Melissa and my 2 boys Liam and

2


Reid I shifted my career focus. I decided to pursue

a career in Project Management.

That’s when I decided to enrolled in a 6 month

accelerated Project Management course at

Western University Continued Studies. I passed the

course in June 03, 2014 and had the opportunity to

move into a Project Manager role at Ascent

Solutions Inc. (formerly know at Tiltran Services).

In 2015, Ascent decided to shift their focus from the

renewable sector to their core competencies. This

meant that my position within the company

changed from Project Manager to Manager

Operations, Construction which is the position I

currently hold. In an effort to improve on my skills,

I feel that I need to continue my studies at Western

and pursue a CIM designation as a certified

manager. Consequently, I have been enrolled in all

of the courses to date and will continue with the

courses until I have completed all requisites.

5: My Career in Canada

5-1: Darlingtons Wiring and Plumbing

In January of 2005 my paperwork from the Embassy of Canada in Germany came in what gave me the opportunity to move to Canada on a Travel and work visa.

I moved to Canada August 2005 to

live with my than girlfriend and find

work in the Electrical Industry.

I was hired by Darlington wiring and

Plumbing out of Wyecombe a small town in Norfolk County.

started working on obtaining my Red

Seal designation Darlington’s

primary focus is on Residential, new

construction with in Norfolk County

Delhi, Simcoe, Waterford and Tillsonburg.

Also would we do work for locale farmers primarily Tabaco farms.

I enjoyed working at Darlington

because it was my first introduction

to how electricity is install in Canada

and I quickly found out that there

are significant differences between

what I was used to and how electricity is installed in Canada.

During this period I also obtained my

permeated resident status for

Canada and obtained my Read Seal

and became a licensed electrician

within Canada.

After a period of two year I decided that I wanted to move on to more interesting work and in the hope to move up on the cooperate ladder.
