From the Ground Up: The Birth of JustConsulting

Justin Stewart

Meet Justin Stewart, founder of JustConsulting, where I don’t just solve problems, I unlock potential. Founded on the principle of transforming operational challenges into growth opportunities, JustConsulting brings unmatched expertise in project management, operational efficiency, and strategic business development to clients across diverse industries.

With decades of hands-on leadership and international experience, our founder, Justin Stewart, built JustConsulting to empower organizations with the tools, insights, and execution strategies they need to succeed—efficiently, sustainably, and with measurable results.

The Founder’s Journey: Leadership Built from the Ground Up

Justin Stewart launched his career in the oil and gas sector in 1998, starting from the field with Kennel Drilling. His rise to leadership roles by the early 2000s was fueled by a commitment to operational excellence and team-driven results. By 2003, Justin Stewart founded JustConsulting with a bold, practical mission: to help companies untangle operational chaos and deliver projects on time, on budget, and by the book. Built from years of frontline experience, JustConsulting began as a hands-on consulting outfit for project management, operations, and compliance.
From construction sites in Alberta to industrial yards in Central Asia, Justin saw the same gaps repeating: missed deadlines, bloated costs, and non-compliance—all due to poor systems, unclear roles, and reactive leadership. He knew there had to be a better way.

“I wasn’t looking to be a consultant—I was solving problems on the ground. JustConsulting came to life because organizations needed execution, not theory.”
— Justin Stewart, Founder

Built in the Field, Refined in the Boardroom

From Full-Time Operator to Fractional Strategist

What started as boots-on-the-ground project support evolved into a strategic consulting practice—helping companies build sustainable systems across logistics, heavy haul, safety, and international operations.

Key Milestones:

Founded in 2003 to provide on-site support in operations and compliance
Achieved COR Certification and set early safety benchmarks
Delivered successful infrastructure and logistics projects across Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and North America
Standardized project workflows and approval processes across multiple business units
Led organizations through fast growth, regulatory complexity, and economic instability

As JustConsulting’s reputation grew, so did demand—for not just project execution, but for strategic leadership that didn’t require a full-time hire.

That’s when the company pivoted to its current model: fractional consulting for companies in need of experienced project management, operational clarity, and scalable leadership—without the overhead.

“Fractional work lets us bring high-impact guidance to businesses that need flexibility. We adapt, embed, and deliver—then step back so teams can run stronger.”
— Justin Stewart
