R&R Utility's co-founder, Bill Robertson, P.Eng., was fortunate enough to have been involved with the planning and construction of these early transmission systems as a BC Hydro inspector and Resident Engineer from 1975-1982. He then worked with other utilities, consultants and contractors in Canada and abroad in order to diversify his experience in the transmission line industry. Since returning to British Columbia, Bill has been involved with many power sector projects and has gained a well-deserved reputation as a respected transmission line professional.

Bill believes in transferring his knowledge to the younger generation of up and coming professionals who are interested in entering the industry. During the formation of R&R Utility, he discovered Stephen Randall, EIT and decided he would be an ideal recruit. He is a recent graduate from the UBC engineering program and has acquired ample field experience on the 500 kV Interior to Lower Mainland Transmission Line. Stephen has proven that hard work and a willingness to absorb as much information as possible will facilitate the success of R&R Utility.
