Our Team

Chris Flett is a proud Indigenous member of the Six Nations of the Grand River. He was elected Business Manager of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 955 in 2017, and again in 2021 and 2025. He is the only Business Manager in IUOE 955 history to be elected three terms in a row.

In January 2026, Chris was elected to serve as an IUOE International Trustee, serving more than 410,000 IUOE members across North America. He is the only Canadian serving in that position.

His path with IUOE 955 began in 2007 as a Serviceman with KMC mining, where he was eventually promoted to Preventative Maintenance Inspector and filled the roles of Job Steward, followed by Chief Job Steward. After that, Chris served as an IUOE 955 Business Agent at the Northern District office for seven years.

Chris, along with his incredible team, work diligently to ensure members in all sectors secure the best collective agreements possible, while focusing on safety, training, gaining market share and attracting and retaining new talent to IUOE 955’s membership.

Although Chris holds many titles and positions, he will tell you his most important and rewarding role is, dad.

Chris looks forward to serving IUOE 955 and the International for many years to come.
