Grant Goss oversees all contingent workforce-related activities for energy infrastructure company TC Energy, which recently rebranded from TransCanada to better reflect its expansion beyond Canada. His department sits within supply chain operations, which also owns the policy tied to contingent workforce; Goss has been updating that policy to better reflect the company’s actions.

TC Energy’s internally managed program today counts approximately 1,000 contingent workers, primarily in white-collar roles, across Canada and the US. He is kicking off a project to expand the program and manage all the company’s field-based contingents. Some projections say this will add 3,000-plus contingent workers to the program and spend in excess of $400 million by the end of next year. Goss expects the company to realize millions of dollars in savings in the first year and $10 million in three years.

A consummate learner, Goss in 2016 earned his Supply Chain Management Professional (SCMP) accreditation and was among the first outside the US to earn a CCWP accreditation from SIA.

One thing that has attracted Goss to the talent space is that he will never see it all. “You know you’re going to learn something else,” he says. “You know you’re going to come across some other opportunity or benefit that we could deliver.”
