André Joseph

André is the Director of Sustainable Waste Processing at the City of Edmonton. His experience spans over 17 years of  design, permitting, construction and operation of large-scale waste facilities. These facilities typically involve renewable energy (biogas upgrading/utilization), solid waste and organics processing as well as water / wastewater treatment.

In successfully leading many multidisciplinary teams, Andre has developed a collaborative approach towards working with project teams, clients, government agencies, industry leaders, the public and other stakeholders to deliver successful projects and plans. Previously, as the Manager of Solid Waste Engineering and Planning at the City of London, as well as through his career in consulting, Andre has been responsible for the planning and delivery of multiple capital waste projects. Andre is currently collaborating with both private and public sector clients, utility companies, and organics management technology providers to deliver energy from waste and zero-waste solutions. A cornerstone of these solutions is the integration of solid waste and other municipal master planning processes into his approach.

When André is not working to increase waste diversion and managing greenhouse gas emissions, he is heavily involved in soccer in Alberta as the coach. Andre enjoys sharing the lessons of commitment and teamwork that have helped him throughout his life, as well as the pure enjoyment of sport and giving back to his local community.
