Meet the Team

Since 2001 TeamWorks Solutions has provided training & consulting services to many industries throughout British Columbia and across Canada 

Over the years, we’ve developed strong working relationships with industry and Authorities Having Jurisdiction.  We specialize in safety and skills development, including certification of regulated work within the LPG industry.

Along the way, we’ve developed a keen insight into the human side of skill requirements needed to drive production and safe work practices.  We all know implementing codes, policies, and directives, or even the threat of fines, DOES NOT produce a safer (or more productive) workforce. Leadership, training, and effective supervision are what drive safety and productivity.

This insight has been the catalyst for developing training solutions that work.

Whether you’re national in scope or specialize in serving specific markets, our goal remains the same – to help you and your company develop the skills needed to ensure a safe, productive workforce.

  • Registered Provincial Instructor - British Columbia

  • Certified Training & Curriculum Development Professional

  • Master Instructor - Propane Training Alliance

I've seen many changes in how knowledge is transferred in the workplace.  These insights have given TeamWorks a unique understanding of how successful companies strategically position themselves to ensure their competitiveness for tomorrow. 

It has been a pleasure working with so many industry professionals providing training solutions that work. Leading HR and safety professionals recognize that training and employee skill development are keys to growth and competitiveness. Working with you and the companies you represent over the past 23 years continues to be a privilege."

Jenna Rowe

Health & Safety Program Coordinator

  • Diploma in Technical Occupational Health and Safety, BCIT

Jenna completed her Diploma in Technical Occupational Health and Safety at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in 2016.

She has been working with TeamWorks for over a decade, building upon her career in the Outdoor Adventure Tourism Industry. Her passion for problem-solving, while working and recreating in high-risk environments has guided Jenna towards a lifelong journey in OH&S.

Although her career didn’t begin in Health and Safety, her experiences led her to understand the great need for well-managed health and safety systems, a competent workforce, and a strong workplace safety culture throughout every industry.

"No matter what industry you work in, health and safety principles remain the same: First- a positive safety culture starts at the top; Second- invest in the right people and resources to build and manage an effective health and safety management system; and most importantly Third - safety is a ‘TEAM SPORT’. It’s everyone's responsibility, not just the Safety Supervisor’s.”

Eric O'Donnell

Instructor & OHS Safety Consultant

  • Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety, SFU

Eric has been an industrial safety trainer and OH&S consultant since 2017. He joined TeamWorks with 10 years of experience in construction and road building, including 4 years as a Health and Safety Supervisor. Eric completed his Occupational Health and Safety Certificate at Simon Fraser University in January 2022.

“My passion for health and safety is a product of having worked in certain high-risk environments for over a decade. Experiencing both effective and poorly functioning Safety Management Systems throughout my career gave me the tools I need to understand many of the unique challenges faced in the workplace.  Whether working in the field, on the shop floor, or within the management levels, everything begins with a healthy safety culture from the top down.  My goal is to help create a positive culture that ensures workers go home at the end of the day and allow the company to do what they do best.”

“Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the best safety professionals in the business.  I’ve been repeatedly reminded - “It’s not called a safety site. It’s called a construction site, we’re here to build” or “this is not a safety mine, it’s a gold mine, we’re here to produce.” That said, safety and productivity must work together. That’s the foundation for an effective and productive work environment.”
