Jason first started his sheet metal apprenticeship at Levco Heating and Ventilation in Saskatoon where he was able to learn the fundamentals of sheet metal installation. Very early on in his apprenticeship, Levco’s management saw an ability in Jason to oversee projects and he began managing sheet metal installation projects from start to finish. After six years of managing projects for Levco as well as being a foreman at another large mechanical installation company, Jason was looking for a change of pace from large installation projects to more challenging design builds and wanted the ability to utilize his creativity.

At that time, NexGen Mechanical required someone to oversee the newly built sheet metal fabrication shop and sheet metal division. Jason is currently the project manager and estimator for the sheet metal fabrication and installation team at NexGen and his focus is always on quality products and installation.
