Victoria, British Columbia
Independent since 2020
The firm’s founder spent sixteen years with TELUS, working from customer-facing roles through network operations and into RF engineering support, before relocating to Victoria.
What followed was a deliberate move away from a single industry and into independent work that crossed disciplines: technology consulting, film and television production, hands-on residential construction, and a 3D imaging and floor plan venture serving real estate agents and brokerages, including taking over management of a custom home project through completion. The real estate imaging venture worked with three Victoria brokerages and several individual agents.
The founder held BC Housing Owner Builder Authorization for a custom home project in Bear Mountain, Victoria, taking over site management at framing stage and correcting trade errors and omissions through completion. That work included obtaining a homeowner electrical installation permit through Technical Safety BC and completing the low voltage wiring, designing the HVAC, security, EV charging, electrical and plumbing systems in coordination with trades, and completing CHBA BC coursework in Construction Law and Business Planning and Management, alongside additional renovation and rehabilitation projects including garage conversions.
Sixteen years at TELUS took the founder from customer-facing roles through network operations into RF engineering support and RF operations, working directly alongside engineering teams on wireless network projects.
Film and television work included assistant director roles and licensed aerial (RPAS) operation, coordinating logistics across documentary and independent feature productions.
That range wasn’t a detour. It’s the reason JOV exists. Projects rarely stay inside one discipline, and firsthand experience across construction, telecommunications, production and technology means JOV understands how the pieces actually fit together, not just in theory.
JOV is the result: an independent practice built on judgment earned across industries, applied to the projects, systems and technology that matter to the people building things.
The value isn’t in knowing every discipline equally well. It’s in understanding enough across disciplines to ask the right questions, recognize what a project actually needs, and know who to bring in to deliver it.
