RUUD WOUTERS PORTFOLIO | February 03, 2015
Introduction:
I would like to take the opportunity to introduce
myself.
My name is Ruud Wouters and I was born on
December 09, 1978 in the city of Eindhoven, the
Netherlands.
I lived in the small Dutch town of Gerwen with my
mother Truus, father Peter, and brother Frank.
My primary education was at the local public school
in Gerwen -St Clements primary school. Most of my
time was spent playing soccer with my friends at
the local soccer club RKGSV and spending time with
my family. On Saturday mornings and school
holidays I usually could be found working in the
family business Smulders Staalwerken (Smulders
Steel construction) doing various jobs and helping
out wherever I was needed.
After successfully completing my primary
education, I moved on to get my secondary
education at the Eckart College in Eindhoven. I
graduated from here on June 22, 1995.
I continued my post-secondary education at the
MAS (Agricultural College) in Boxtel, where I took
Environmental studies. After one year I decided to
pursue a different career path.
I enrolled in a Dutch government sponsored
program to learn the basics skills needed for the
Electrical trade in the Netherlands. After being
enrolled in this program for one year, I passed the
final exam on November 30, 1998.
I obtained a job as an apprentice electrician at
Contact Electrotechniek in Lieshout, the
Netherlands on January 01, 1998.
I continued to educate myself on the subject of
Electrical Installations and enrolled in ROC
Continued Studies in Eindhoven and passed my first
Course on October 08, 1999 with an Assistant
Electrician New Structure Installation certificate.
While continuing to work at Contact, focusing on
Industrial, agricultural, commercial and residential
installation, I also studied at ROC in Eindhoven for
the next 2 years. I passed my second Course and
became an Electrician Heavy Duty Power
Installations.
My role at Contact during this period changed from
being an Apprentice to a Lead Electrician. I worked
independently installing and maintaining light and
power installations for Industrial, Agricultural,
Commercial and Residential. As well as supervising
apprentice electricians, I continued my studies at
ROC and passed my Master Electricians Heavy Duty
Installations on January 21, 2003
I continued to work at Contact Elecktrotheniek and
educate myself in the Electrical Technician Course.
Regrettably, I did not complete this course due to
the opportunity for me to move Canada in August
2005
I arrived in Canada on a travel and work visa and
started working at Darlington’s Wiring and
Plumbing in Wycome, Ontario. My role was an
apprentice electrician concentrating on Residential
and Agricultural installations. I worked for
Darington’s for almost 2 years from August 2005 to
August 2007. In this period I also passed my CFQ
and received my red seal Electrical license.
In September of 2007, I was ready for a new
challenge and was given the opportunity to start
working for Tiltran Services. This was a company in
Tillsonburg, ON that specialized in installing and
maintaining High Voltage Electrical Installations for
Commercial Industrial and Utilities. At this
company, I started out as an apprentice and
worked my way up to becoming a Lead Electrician.
Tiltran Services eventually became Ascent Solutions
Inc.
Due to the scale of projects that Ascent Solutions
Inc., the company grew. As a result, I received the
new position of Site Supervisor on July 08, 2013.
Ascent’s business focus shifted and became more
geared to the renewable industry as it was
becoming a major player in the Ontario market.
My position within the company changed to
Manager of Site Supervisors on May 12, 2014.
Unfortunately the nature of the renewable work
puts a strain on family life, as you are constantly
travelling. Therefore, in order to spent more time
with my Spouse Melissa and my 2 boys Liam and
2
RUUD WOUTERS PORTFOLIO | February 03, 2015
Reid I shifted my career focus. I decided to pursue
a career in Project Management.
That’s when I decided to enrolled in a 6 month
accelerated Project Management course at
Western University Continued Studies. I passed the
course in June 03, 2014 and had the opportunity to
move into a Project Manager role at Ascent
Solutions Inc. (formerly know at Tiltran Services).
In 2015, Ascent decided to shift their focus from the
renewable sector to their core competencies. This
meant that my position within the company
changed from Project Manager to Manager
Operations, Construction which is the position I
currently hold. In an effort to improve on my skills,
I feel that I need to continue my studies at Western
and pursue a CIM designation as a certified
manager. Consequently, I have been enrolled in all
of the courses to date and will continue with the
courses until I have completed all requisites.
