OWEN HEALEY
General Manager - Mining &
Construction Services at Tulloch
IN THE REMOTE stretches of the Canadian wilderness, where
rugged terrain and unforgiving elements challenge every phase
of development, precision surveying forms the critical 昀椀rst step
of any major infrastructure or resource project. It is an environment that demands both technical exactitude and physical resilience. This is where Owen Healey began his career as a summer
student surveyor, learning 昀椀eld realities from the ground up.
Today, as Partner and General Manager of Mining and Construction Services at TULLOCH, Owen represents the very best
of integrated Canadian architecture, engineering, and construction leadership. His remarkable career trajectory is a testament
to his unparalleled work ethic and technical brilliance, having
progressed from running survey crews in the bush to executive
ownership before the age of forty.
Owen has built profound credibility at every level of project
delivery, combining deep hands-on 昀椀eld experience with the
strategic and 昀椀nancial acumen required of a senior leader. A
licensed Professional Engineer and Ontario Land Surveyor,
he possesses a rare dual expertise that spans geodetic control,
high-precision construction layout, mobile and airborne LiDAR,
and civil engineering support. Owen has applied this vast
knowledge across some of Canada’s most signi昀椀cant infrastructure and resource developments, including the Côté Gold and
Magino Gold mines, the Wataynikaneyap Power transmission
project, and the Metrolinx Electri昀椀cation program. His exceptional project leadership was formally recognized when his
work as Project Principal at the Magino Mine earned TULLOCH
a prestigious 2025 ACEC-Ontario Award of Distinction, highlighting his ability to seamlessly coordinate multidisciplinary
teams under remote and highly demanding conditions.
Owen’s leadership style is de昀椀ned by his approachable,
accountable nature and his unwavering commitment to developing the people around him. He fundamentally transformed
TULLOCH’s operational capabilities by championing a hybrid
昀椀eld model that cross-trains sta昀昀 in surveying, materials testing,
and construction inspection. This innovative approach has dramatically improved site continuity, reduced mobilizations, and
strengthened quality programs on remote projects. Furthermore,
he plays a central role in TULLOCH University, creating shared
training platforms that empower emerging leaders to strengthen
their project controls and commercial judgment.
Owen is also a driving force behind TULLOCH’s business development, actively securing major contracts in the company’s
highest revenue-generating markets while fostering respectful, long-term partnerships with Indigenous communities. He
leads by example, frequently joining di昀케cult 昀椀eld rotations to
support his teams and ensure project success. Beyond his corporate responsibilities, Owen is a passionate industry advocate,
