“Forward programming and scheduling was a key focus on that project.” “I’ve worked for a lot of different companies, and erected a lot of steel from all over the world,” he says. “Waiward steel was, and still is, the best.” “Waiward is looked at as a leader in the market, and not only in Alberta,” he adds. “Anybody who knows the company in North America respects us for what we’ve done and can do. That’s why I wanted to be part of the team in the first place, and why I’m very proud and happy to be in the position I’m in now.” Donny is not the only long-term Waiward team member, and the reasons for his loyalty are not unique. Many employees have been with the business for over a decade, with some as longstanding as 25 years, and they all share something in common. “Our employees are proud of who they work for,” Donny says. “We work hard to build a company culture that is all about team-building, and all about caring and respect.” As a result of that culture, Waiward has fostered one of Canada’s largest and best-trained structural steel fabrication and construction crews. They have also acquired some of the most knowledgeable and meticulous engineers and draftsmen. They have retained these team members by giving them personalized training, educational opportunities, and empowering their professional development. Most importantly, they always look out for their safety. “Getting our employees home safely, every single day, is our top priority,” Donny says. “Nothing is more important – because we’re nothing without our people.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
