Leadership

First heading to the oil sands on a drilling rig in 1999, Chris brings 25 years of industry experience and knows what works and the pain points of clients and projects. While he worked his way from roughneck to driller on the rigs, he spent his summers moving from the tools to Sr. Project manager for a Calgary construction firm. Recruited to the rope access industry in 2010 he has managed iconic projects such as Canada Place roof replacement and BC place rehab. After selling his first company in 2014 he founded Structure Group with the focus on heavy mechanical and welding services. Chris is known for his drive to work with other contractors and not purely competing, feeling that there is enough work for everyone. If we work together then that is the best solution for our guys, our goals and the clients. Chris is happiest in the field covered in oil, coal, dirt with the teams swinging a hammer or turning wrenches. When not at work he likes to spend time falling down mountains on skis and bikes.
