Richard Morykot is an accomplished Professional Engineer based in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada, with more than 30 years of experience in both the public and private sectors. He earned a Bachelor of Civil Engineering from the Technical University of Nova Scotia (Dalhousie) and has built a career working on complex infrastructure and environmental projects.

Richard started his career in consulting engineering in 1992 before joining the Nova Scotia Public Service in 2000, where he played a key management role in the remediation of the Sydney Tar Ponds and Coke Ovens sites—one of Canada’s largest and most challenging environmental cleanup projects.

In 2007, he joined CBCL Limited, where he led a diverse group of engineering professionals in the Sydney office and provided strategic support to multidisciplinary technical design teams and clients across Atlantic Canada. During his 16 years at CBCL, Richard contributed to many large marine infrastructure projects that included work within the emerging offshore wind (OSW) sector.

In 2023, Richard assumed the position of Vice President of Strategic Development and Execution with the Atlantic Canada Bulk Terminal (ACBT) located in Sydney, NS. Exploration of opportunities in the OSW industry led to marshaling components at the ACBT for OSW projects in the Northeast US. This work gave Richard direct experience in the OSW industry and exposure to a wide range of industry stakeholders across North America and Europe.

Deeply dedicated to growing the renewable energy industry in Atlantic Canada, Richard looks forward to continued collaboration with Marine Renewables Canada and its members.
