ABOUT RYAN EVANS
I am a strategic infrastructure leader with over 20 years of progressive experience spanning regulation, utility operations, and executive leadership in the water and wastewater sector.I currently serve as Director, Strategic Initiatives at SaskWater, where I lead enterprise initiatives that translate corporate and government priorities into practical programs, pilots, and implementation pathways. My work focuses on advancing complex, cross‑functional initiatives and aligning Engineering, Operations, Finance, and Strategic Planning to deliver measurable, system‑level outcomes.Previously, I served as Director of Engineering, where I was responsible for capital program delivery, procurement, and project management. In that role, I worked closely with executive leadership and partners to balance long‑term priorities with near‑term delivery, building a strong understanding of how strategic decisions translate into operational outcomes.Throughout my career, I have focused on bridging policy and strategy with execution, whether shaping regulatory frameworks, advancing new service models, or working with partners to address the persistent challenges facing small communities and their drinking water systems.I am motivated by public service and sustainability, and by the opportunity to strengthen communities through access to safe, reliable drinking water.
