About the Presenter
Amit Banerjee is the director, registration, at the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA), based out of Edmonton. All individuals and companies seeking registration to practise engineering, geoscience, or both
in Alberta must apply through the Registration Department. APEGA receives more than 5,000 to 7,000 applications per year, and 20 per cent to 25 per cent of those are from internationally trained applicants. In this role, Amit manages a team of around 35 people to deliver the Registration programs of APEGA. He works closely with the applicants and other agencies to remove or reduce the barriers to registration to the highest extent possible. He also works closely with the other Canadian jurisdictions on various national initiatives related to regulation of the engineering and geoscience professions. Prior to joining APEGA in June 2016, Amit spent more than 15 years working for the Government of Alberta (Ministry of Environment) and the Alberta Energy Regulator, where his focus was on the environmental regulation of industrial and municipal activities.
Amit holds an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from India, and master’s degrees in environmental engineering from the University of Manitoba and the University of Alberta. He is passionate about community service and volunteers with several community organizations.
