A passionate and innovative leader, Clayton MacEachern has led his business unit of 1,200 team members for over 3 million exposure hours without a recordable injury.

Joining Flint as a heavy equipment operator in 2010, MacEachern has grown with the company, and now as area manager he oversees its largest corporate business unit. This spring he also became a Harvard Business School alum.

He is an advocate for equality, community, and reconciliation, and was able to successfully build a joint venture partnership with the Fort McMurray #468 First Nation in 2021.

He turned his passion for training, apprenticeship and mentoring into the development of Flint’s Emerald Career Training Program that uses heavy equipment simulators to train high potential candidates. After six years, the program is launching up to 150 careers each year and has added a second training centre in central Alberta.
