About Us

After growing up in Vancouver, Max moved to Victoria to attend the University of Victoria. After completing his Bachelor’s Degree at Uvic and meeting his beautiful wife and future business partner Jac-Lyn, Max decided that his true passion was in the trades. Max went on to complete his Red Seal Plumbing and Gas Fitting Certification; to further his education he went to BCIT in Vancouver for the Construction Management program to hone his management skills.

Upon completion, he returned to Victoria to work for a large mechanical contracting company as an estimator and later as Operations Manager.  This inspired Max to start his own business where he could complete projects to the highest standards and create strong relationships with his clients.  Combining his extensive education and experience, as well as his technical knowledge, Max has a unique skill set that is rarely seen in this industry.

Jac-Lyn met Max at Uvic while she was in the midst of her degree in Physical Education.  After completing her education degree, Jac-Lyn taught highschool P.E. as well as Middle school in the Victoria school district for almost 10 years. She definitely loves the high energy and creativity involved in running a classroom, however she has now hung up her whistle to focus on running MGM with Max.

Using her background in education, she is able to utilize her creativity and leadership qualities to make MGM a unique place to be.  She is responsible for bringing MGM together and making it a warm, inviting space so that everyone can thrive.

Jac-Lyn is also the Company Safety and Security Officer, Human Resources Manager who deals with recruitment, plans all team events, runs the social media and works together with Max on all of the big picture ideas at MGM.

Steve was born in the U.K, which you will soon discover upon hearing his lovely accent.  He has an extensive background in construction, as his father owned a construction company in England.  Having the experience in carpentry and plumbing allows him to see how things might fit together with regards to the coordination of other trades. Steve started plumbing when he was a teen back in England, under the tutelage of his father. He has an excellent technical aptitude for the mechanical trade, and it clearly comes naturally to him.

His role at MGM is very important as he acts as the intermediary between site and the office.

He oversees all of the projects from a technical standpoint and is a great help to the various Foreman at MGM.  He also spends time in the office on project management, in addition to his time in the field; you’re just as likely to see him with a hardhat and boots on doing a quick groundwork, as you will having a meeting with him.  He truly has a very diverse skill set and we are are grateful to have him on our team.

Nancy is the lead project manager for MGM Mechanical where she, alongside the project team, works closely with field personnel to help resolve technical issues, manage documentation as well as equipment and materials. She hails from Newfoundland, where she studied Marine Environmental Technology in St. John’s. After graduation, she began her career as an environmental and regulatory advisor on an oil and gas project and following completion of this project, she made the decision to move to Vancouver Island to experience west coast living!

Prior to MGM, Nancy worked primarily in marine construction which entailed the construction of wharves and jetties, dredging contaminated sediments, permitting and regulatory management for complex marine construction. In 2020 she transitioned from marine to construction to mechanical contracting at MGM Mechanical where she excels in what she does as the head of our Project Management team. Her background and current role have provided her extensive experience in overseeing projects from start to commissioning. The field staff is grateful for her and her team’s support and professionalism in order to keep everything running smoothly on our job sites. Nancy is dedicated to building relationships within the industry and continues to master her craft. She is definitely an asset to our team at MGM Mechanical.
