Darryl Nelson

President, Nelson Environmental Remediation

Darryl Nelson has overseen the deployment of advanced thermal treatment technologies across multiple international jurisdictions, leading complex environmental remediation projects in industrial and resource environments. His extensive experience spans the engineering, deployment and operational management of large-scale remediation systems, with a focus on achieving measurable environmental outcomes that meet stringent regulatory standards.

Beyond his technical expertise in environmental remediation, Darryl is widely regarded for his international project logistics capabilities. He has coordinated the complex movement and deployment of specialized remediation equipment and personnel to challenging locations worldwide, including Southeast Asia, American Samoa and Spain. His ability to navigate international logistics, regulatory requirements and operational complexities has been instrumental in Nelson’s successful execution of projects across diverse geographic environments.

A frequent speaker at international industry conferences, Darryl regularly shares insights into the application of mobile thermal remediation technologies and the challenges of delivering complex environmental projects. He has also played an important role in advancing Nelson’s emerging PFAS treatment capabilities, most recently supporting the company’s research efforts with the NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO), including testing conducted at Nelson’s headquarters in Acheson, Alberta.

Throughout his career, Darryl’s leadership has reflected Nelson’s longstanding commitment to technical excellence, operational reliability and certainty in environmental outcomes.
