🌟 Staff Spotlight: Brian Sampson 🌟

Meet Brian, our Special Projects Manager at RelyOn Canada. Brian originally joined the team in 2014 as an IT Systems Administrator, but it didn’t take long for him to expand his role far beyond the server room. Once the tech environment was stabilized, he jumped at the chance to get involved in operations; supporting STST (Survival Training Simulation Theatre) training, working as an FRC deckhand and coxswain, and stepping into role-player scenarios for emergency response training. He later served as Centre Manager, and now focuses on procurement, special projects, and one of his main passions: leading the CCMME (Command & Control and Management of Major Emergencies) program.

Though his background is in IT — having spent over eight years at BlackBerry — Brian fully embraced the safety and survival world when he came onboard. What started as a complete career shift turned out to be the ideal fit, giving him the unique chance to blend technical, operational, and instructional work. He’s earned multiple certifications from Transport Canada and has supported major training efforts, including delivering CCMME and PICA training aboard the West Aquarius.

Brian is particularly proud of his work with the CCMME course, which helps offshore personnel develop the skills needed to manage major emergencies with confidence and control. Seeing participants return to the program and share how they’ve applied the training into action at their own facilities is a rewarding part of his work. Outside of RelyOn, Brian’s career has had some surprising highlights, he once accepted an award on stage in New York City, lived in Texas while launching a support centre, and is a proud cribbage champion. We’re lucky to have his drive and multi-talented mindset pushing RelyOn’s projects forward!
