For over 26 years, Darryl has dedicated his focus to the Oil and Gas Industry in North East BC. His earlier career would be credited to Pipeline & Facility Labor crafts, successfully progressing into a journeyman welder and President of his own company BroMac Welding Ltd. Darryl's dedication to efficiency and constructability earned him an opportunity in upper management with a small growing company in Fort St. John. As the General Manager in a cyclical industry, the company grew from 120 employees to an excess of 500 during his tenure with a diverse list of clientele.
Partnering with longtime friend Tim Smith, they founded SureLine Projects with a philosophy centred upon building relationships and empowering a family-oriented environment that connects employees, clients, and the community. Darryl's loyalty and fair managing style enhance SureLine's team-first atmosphere, consistently crediting the successes of our staff and enabling our employees to evolve the business and themselves.
