With nearly 20 years of project development, planning and permitting experience, Bea Ashby brings deep expertise and a highly collaborative approach to her work at Atura Power. Holding a master’s degree in environmental studies from York University, Bea is also a Registered Professional Planner and member of the Canadian Institute of Planners.
As project manager, environmental and municipal approvals with Atura Power for more than two years, Bea manages external vendors, performs planning and permitting activities and advises the business development team.
A key focus of Bea’s work is early planning and permitting to optimize project layouts. She is especially passionate about collaboration and believes bringing the right people together early reduces risk, improves decision-making and turns opportunities into successful projects.
When it comes to what Bea appreciates most about working at Atura Power, it’s the integrity and commitment the team offers, particularly as the company explores new technologies and engages with communities during project development.
Outside of work, Bea enjoys mentoring co-op students and young planners, as well as photography and painting. She is a fan of the outdoors and volunteers with her community food bank in Oakville.
