In his role, he currently oversees a complement of assets worth approximately $270M, these assets collect, process, recycle and dispose of waste for over 400,000 residential households and non-residential customers. The successful management of these assets will set the City on a path of transformational change which will push Edmonton towards a goal of 90% waste diversion.

His team of maintenance professionals audits the delivery of maintenance performance through a Maintenance Effectiveness Audit program closely aligned with ISO19011 methodology. In previous roles, Spencer served as a leader with Suncor Energy and Caterpillar Mining overseeing the execution of maintenance, reliability and turnaround activities on the world's largest mining Fleets.
