Felipe Sapateiro

Felipe Sapateiro is a project manager from our Canada transportation business. Felipe joined AECOM after graduating from McMaster University in 2011. With more than 15 years of experience, what sets Felipe apart is his ability to integrate planning, engineering and constructability into a project at the outset. This foresight and big-picture view — from inception to implementation — allows project teams to proactively anticipate and plan for future issues and potential complications. His work encompasses functional design studies, planning, preliminary and detailed design, and serving as owner’s engineer and technical advisor on alternative finance procurements. One of Felipe’s initial projects was the Highway 401 Expansion from the Credit River to Regional Road 25 in Mississauga, Ontario. Beyond highway improvements, this design-build-finance project also included the complex Highway 401/407 interchange, connecting two major Ontario roadways and the future Highway 413 corridor. He was involved in early preliminary design, progressed as a core member of the owner’s engineer/technical advisor team, and continued through construction and operation. This experience enabled him to advance a major project from early planning through construction and implementation. As residents of Mississauga, Felipe and his family directly benefit from the community improvements resulting from the engineering, environmental consultation and construction on this project.
