Biography

Wayne joined Canada Training Group with over 40 years of knowledge and experience in the Electrical and Instrumentation industry. As a Master Electrician and Journeyman Instrument Mechanic, Wayne offers a unique perspective to training that provides solid theory with practical applications gained through years of work in the industry.

Wayne’s oilfield and agriculture experience encompasses maintenance on process and production equipment, electrical design, project management, and all facets of electrical and instrumentation contracting. His in-depth experience with Arc flash studies, estimating, compliance, safety, trouble-shooting, and diverse types of equipment including VFD's, and PLC's is invaluable in his hands-on teaching with CTG.
