EllisDon is growing in the wild, wild, west.
Edmonton has become a major hub for the construction industry because of record investment in the oil sands projects.
It is the new frontier in Canada.
But as Don Smith, Edmonton’s Vice President and Area Manager points out, “the real excitement in this city is that in a short time period of about four years we’ve been able to dig in roots, relocate leadership people and develop a strong construction base that is taking on the challenging work in Edmonton.”
The Edmonton office has actually doubled in size in the last year and quadrupled in the number of employees over the last four years.
“With the amount of untapped work due to demand for oil, the number and size of the projects are going to take the Edmonton operations to the forefront.”
But in the end it’s our people that make all the difference. And we’re building a strong office in Edmonton.
“Our business is all about people and relationships,” Smith says. “We invest in people who want to make a difference and can create value.”
Our people enjoy living in Edmonton and taking advantage of the opportunities to take a lead role on some major projects, like the groundbreaking Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute.
Edmonton is like Calgary and Vancouver all wrapped into one, it’s cultured and sophisticated only there is no rat race and it’s more affordable. It really is the best kept secret.
