Professional and passionate, Darren Sauer started his construction career as a labourer right out of high school. After graduating from BCIT, he started working as a project coordinator, then a project manager, managing ever larger and more complex projects for Wales McLelland.

He rejoined the firm three years ago following a five-year period working for a private landowner and developer.

In his newest role at Wales McLelland, he provides leadership and strategic direction for the company, exploring new market opportunities, improving processes and functions, growing the business, while recruiting and developing staff and expanding its services for its clients.

Over the past three years, that has included the creation and growth of a Development Services department with a growing team of four.
