Prior to NWRP, Dargewitcz spent 15 years with Shell where he had several positions over the years including: senior manager of mergers, acquisitions and commercial finance; treasurer; business manager - Foothills gas; senior economist - oilsands; and various other financial positions in all four divisions of Shell including upstream, downstream, oilsands, and corporate.
He is also a retired army officer, retiring with the rank of captain from the Canadian Armed Forces after having served in the army for five years post completion of his undergraduate degree in economics and commerce at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario.
