Construction industry expert Rick Moffat has joined HKA, a London-headquartered consulting firm focusing on the construction industry. Moffat joins as a partner based in the firm’s Calgary office.
The new partner will be responsible for establishing HKA’s client base in Western Canada, while also working to grow operations in Detroit via prior client relationships.
Moffat brings more than 25 years of consulting experience in the construction industry, with expertise in risk management, project management, and dispute resolution for industrial, infrastructure, commercial, and institutional projects.

Prior to his time in the consulting sector, Moffat was VP of operations at C&R Masonry, helping to establish the US office of the large masonry and concrete company. He also spent a decade at EllisDon, an international general contracting and construction firm, where he served as a project manager, scheduler, and field engineer.
"Canada is a major focus of growth for HKA in 2020," said Frank Giunta, HKA partner and president of the Americas Group. "Rick's connections and market savvy in combination with the momentum we have built in Canada along with HKA Partner Lorna Tardif, will ensure that we capitalize on opportunities that the region offers."
