Engineering Conversations
Engineering Conversations has one simple goal... to promote engineering. By having conversations with engineers about their backgrounds and careers, we will showcase a wide variety of industries and explore the types of jobs that engineers perform when they finish university.
These conversations may help young people understand what it is that engineers do in their day to day work. As young people learn about these types of careers, they may be inspired to become and engineer and help make the world a better place.
Engineering Conversations is hosted by David deMontigny, an engineering professor at the University of Regina.
The University of Regina is situated on Treaty 4 lands with a presence in Treaty 6. These are the territories of the nêhiyawak (nay-hi-yuh-wuk, Cree), Anihšināpēk (uh-nish-i-naa-payk, Saulteaux), Dakota, Lakota, Nakoda, and the homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation. Today, these lands continue to be the shared territory of many people from near and far. They are an important part of our past, and an even more important part of our future.

Environmental engineers work on all kinds of projects for industry and municipalities. These can include site remediation, civil earth works, surveying, water treatment, and more. We all benefit from the work of environmental engineers.
In this episode we sit down with Greg Kuntz to learn about his career in environmental engineering, which spans over 25 years. During this time, Greg has worked on an extensive list of projects in different sectors. In this conversation he talks about his journey in engineering and some of those projects. Greg currently works at EPCOR and is the Operations Manager for the City of Regina wastewater treatment plant. In that role, he helps ensure the water discharged from the plan is compliant with the regulations and safe for the environment. At the end of this conversation, Greg offers advice to young people thinking about a career in engineering.
