What more can we tell you?

Our newly-renovated office is located on the western edge of Sherwood Park, close to Anthony Henday Drive and about 20 minutes from downtown Edmonton. Our projects that you’d be engaged in typically are built in and around Edmonton and other Alberta municipalities with work sometimes extending in British Columbia and Saskatchewan.

The job features competitive pay and paid time off and a comprehensive benefits package. However, we think a real difference maker is our collegial team-based environment and the opportunity for you to not get typecast into working on the same type of project over-and-over. Being exposed to both private sector development and municipal projects will help you to develop and enhance a diversified skill set. If you thrive on variety, you’ll be excited to join our team.
