Biography
Norman Burton
Education:
My educational background is trades centric. I started a high school co-op in the early eighties and spent six years obtaining an Automotive Machinists’ license. Afterward, I started an Electrical Construction and Maintenance apprenticeship. Having successfully completed the academic portion of the apprenticeship at Durham College I became a C+M Interprovincial licensed Electrician in 1998.
Working as an Electrician, I have completed numerous continuous learning programs such as: Arc Welding, PLC programming, Automation Technology, Teaching and Training Adults and a Masters Electrician Course. I became a licensed Master Electrician in 2007.
Professional Experience:
Working in the trades has been exciting and wide-ranging having worked in the construction, industrial and institutional sector. I have also spent considerable time working in the automation and controls sector. In 2007 I started an electrical business, Burton Electro Technical Inc. The business focus is primarily industrial controls, installations and troubleshooting. The business also builds electrical training equipment for learning institutions and private companies. Burton Electro Technical Inc. has customers throughout Canada and the United States. In addition to working in the Electrical industry I have been instructing part time since 2005 at Georgian College in the Electrical Apprenticeship program. While working in the Electrical Industry, I have travelled to the United States, Mexico, Japan, throughout Central Ontario and British Columbia.
