Presenter: Ruben Cañas VP of Healthcare Construction MacMiller

His career started in 1989 as a refrigeration mechanic working for Carrier Corporation covering Eastern & Western Washington. Over the ensuing 15 years, Ruben became a well-known and respected Senior Journeyman Chiller technician. In 2004 Ruben transitioned from field work and into project sales for a local mechanical contractor. Ruben joined MacMiller in 2006. Over the next 10 years Ruben made significant gains into the healthcare market, including major ground-up hospital construction, small to large existing hospital/campus remodels, and major retrofit projects in existing facilities and energy based projects. This led to creating a dedicated healthcare division in 2016 – Campus Healthcare – which he leads today. Along the way Ruben earned his degree in Sustainability, with a focus on the built environment.
