Canada's infrastructure construction sector continues to rely on experienced leadership in complex project procurement, alternative delivery and civil construction. EllisDon's work in these areas has been led in part by Matt Ratcliffe, whose oversight of more than $5 billion in infrastructure pursuits since 2022 has earned him a place among Canada's emerging industrial leaders.
Ratcliffe serves as Senior Director of Alternative Delivery and Pursuits at EllisDon. His responsibilities have included identifying infrastructure opportunities, supporting project pursuits and expanding the company's civil construction operations.
Since 2022, he has overseen infrastructure pursuits valued at more than $5 billion while helping EllisDon enter additional markets and sectors.
His project experience includes major transit developments in Ontario, including the Eglinton Crosstown LRT and Union Station 2nd Platform and Concourse Improvements.
Ratcliffe was included in SiteNews' 2026 Top 40 Under 40 Industrial Leaders list, which recognizes professionals contributing to Canada's industrial sector through leadership, innovation and professional achievements.
The 2026 recognition event was held on October 29 in Vancouver, bringing together the selected leaders and other industry participants.
EllisDon Senior Vice-President and Area Manager of Civil Josh Manning also highlighted Ratcliffe's contribution to project delivery, business development and collaboration across the infrastructure sector.
Leadership in alternative delivery, infrastructure procurement and civil construction plays an important role in pursuing and delivering complex public infrastructure projects.
Ratcliffe's oversight of more than $5 billion in infrastructure pursuits and involvement in major Ontario transit developments illustrate the scale of EllisDon's infrastructure activities. His recognition also highlights the contribution of emerging leadership to Canada's industrial construction and infrastructure sectors.
