It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of George Alexander Ochrym, founder of Consultec, who departed this world in Toronto on 9 May 2025.
Born in Ukraine, he emigrated to Canada after the war where he graduated in Civil Engineering from the University of Toronto in 1959. After a few jobs, he settled in at St. Lawrence Cement (Holderbank) Engineering where he eventually became Chief Engineer, Building Department, and gained invaluable experience managing projects for the cement industry. In 1975, he founded Consultec, which went on to become successful mid-size EPCM firm for the minerals processing sector. A serial entrepreneur, George had many diverse business ventures in Canada, USA and Ukraine ranging from building materials, property development and storage facilities. He prided himself on his professionalism and discipline, which were reflected in both his casual and professional endeavours. This was accompanied by a deeply positive outlook, a good heart and a fondness for meals with close friends.
He will be deeply missed at Consultec.
