Sujan Silwal | Project Coordinator
Civil Engineer • Heavy Civil & Infrastructure Construction • Technical & Commercial Management

I'm Sujan Silwal, a Project Coordinator at EBC Inc., currently contributing to the Ontario Line – Don Valley Crossings (DVC) Project, delivered by the Leaside Valley Builders Joint Venture for Metrolinx, as part of Toronto's approximately $27 billion Ontario Line rapid transit program.

My professional experience spans heavy civil construction, deep foundation systems, geotechnical engineering, structural works, contract administration, construction claims, cost control, and project coordination. I work at the intersection of engineering design, field execution, and commercial management to support technically complex construction activities while maintaining compliance with specifications, contractual requirements, schedules, and budgets.
