Dan Levert

Dan Levert is a Professional Engineer and Construction Lawyer from St. John’s, Newfoundland. He is a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada, and of the Canadian College of Construction Lawyers. He served as President and CEO of Engineers Canada from 1998 – 2000. Prior to his retirement in 2015, Mr. Levert was Associate General Counsel for the Kiewit Corporation, a construction company with an annual volume of $12 billion.

In a career that has spanned more than thirty years, Mr. Levert has been involved in many of Canada’s largest infrastructure, hydroelectric, mining, and oil and gas projects. Most of these mega-projects involved complex multi-party negotiations with First Nations, Federal, Provincial, and local governments as well as the owners, designers and contractors building the work.

Since 2000 he has been involved with the Newfoundland and Labrador oil and gas and mining industries. As Project Counsel for the design and construction of the $10 billion Hebron Offshore Oil Platform, he served as a member of the board of the Hebron Project Employers’ Association, which maintained labour peace throughout the seven-year project. Mr. Levert, a trained arbitrator and mediator, has focused on resolving disputes in an amicable and fair manner, thereby avoiding costly, time-consuming litigation.

A francophone from New Brunswick, Mr. Levert has strong ties to his home Province where his siblings reside, and to his alma mater, the University of New Brunswick.

As an Independent Director on the OLHI Board, Mr. Levert brings a wealth of experience in dealing with multiple stakeholders, consensus building, alternative dispute resolution, and the law.
