Career Development & Growth

Why Work Here?

Our skilled workforce is made up of an amazing group of people! Each one brings a mixed bag of talents to the table for the company. This includes apprenticeship trade programs which we support through employment and education in areas such as Powerline Technicians, Heavy Duty and Auto Mechanics. As well we have a wide range of professional roles in fields such as Finance, Payroll, Human Resources and Safety. In addition, we staff crews for the Telecommunications and Equipment Operators (HydroVac, Directional Drill and Bore) crews.

We strongly believe in the career advancement of our employees, and often see many people move from one area to another increasing their overall knowledge of our diversified business. This kind of movement within the company helps our people fulfill personal career goals. We encourage and support our people so that they can realize their personal career growth, understanding that this job movement is also beneficial to the company just like they are to the individual.
