Delia Warren, Worker Ambassador
P.Eng | MBA Student
Delia Warren (P. Eng.) is an Iron and Earth Worker Ambassador. From a young age, Delia was concerned by the adverse impacts of human activity on the environment and was convinced that transitioning to renewable energy would create a sustainable future for our planet and its people. She recognized that integrating renewables into our energy strategy would provide an incredible opportunity for economic development and job creation.
Graduating from Memorial University with a degree in mechanical engineering, Delia tried to find work in offshore wind generation but instead spent seven years working in the offshore oil and gas industry in Scotland, France, Africa and at home in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. Starting her career as a pipeline engineer in R&D she eventually transitioned into subsea and offshore structural design—skills that are highly transferable to the renewable energy industry. Following the oil downturn, she began volunteering at Iron & Earth East, eventually taking on the role of director in October 2016 and continuing as a Worker Ambassador now. She loves to travel and is currently completing an MBA at Memorial University.

Iron & Earth was founded within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Métis homelands and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We acknowledge this land as the traditional territories of many First Nations, including the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuliné (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot).
Iron & Earth acknowledges that our work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. We recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the deep connection that Indigenous communities have with the land, water, and environment. Our commitment to a Just Transition is informed by Indigenous land stewardship principles. We are dedicated to fostering partnerships with Indigenous communities, respecting their sovereignty, and learning from their knowledge and traditions. We strive to ensure that our initiatives are inclusive and support community-driven climate solutions, contributing to a sustainable and equitable future for all. We honor the diverse histories, languages, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples and commit to continuing our journey of learning and reconciliation as we work together toward a thriving green economy.
