Chandra brings over 15 years of experience in mechanical design and commissioning, with a reputation for excellence in sustainability-driven building performance.

As Principal in Charge of Commissioning in Ontario, she plays a key leadership role in driving CES Group’s commitment to quality, resilience, and client-focused service delivery.

With a solid foundation in mechanical design, Chandra has led multidisciplinary teams on a wide variety of complex projects across Canada, balancing technical precision with practical insight. Her seven-year tenure as Owner’s Lead Mechanical at Canada Post uniquely shaped her perspective. There, she developed national design standards, crafted scopes of work for capital projects, and worked closely with operations and facilities teams to optimize asset renewal strategies within tight budgets. This experience deepened her understanding of what owners need from design and construction teams, insight she now brings to every CES engagement.

Chandra is a LEED Accredited Professional and a long-standing member of the Canada Green Building Council (CaBGC). Her portfolio includes numerous LEED and high-performance buildings, including serving as mechanical design lead for Canada Post’s Zero Carbon Design Certified 500,000 ft² processing plant in Scarborough.

Detail-oriented and tenacious, Chandra is known for her process improvement mindset, strong ethics, and ability to inspire teams toward shared goals. Her approach is grounded in communication, continuous optimization, and a philosophy of under-promising and over-delivering, always putting clients first.

Outside of work, Chandra is an avid runner, hiker, and kayaker, and enjoys yoga, reading, and volunteering. She is especially passionate about programs that promote STEM learning among youth and support the empowerment of at-risk women and girls. For her, engineering is not just a profession, it’s a lifelong journey of impact, learning, and purpose.
