WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT BEING PART OF THE SCOTT BUILDERS TEAM?

At Scott Builders, we are more than just a company; we are a family. Over the past 18 years, I have had the privilege of being part of this close-knit community where every member is valued and supported. The longevity of my career here is a testament to the nurturing and inclusive culture that SBI fosters, making it a truly remarkable place to work and grow both professionally and personally.

WHAT INITIALLY DREW YOU TO THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY & WHAT MADE YOU STAY?

I was drawn to the trades because the idea of a traditional office job never appealed to me. Working outdoors, building things with my own hands, and seeing tangible results at the end of each day brings me immense satisfaction. Not only is the work rewarding, but the constant learning and problem-solving keep my daily work engaging and dynamic. Each project presents new challenges and opportunities to grow, ensuring that no two days are ever the same.

WHEN YOU’RE NOT HARD AT WORK, WHERE CAN WE FIND YOU?

As soon as the snow melts, my family and I eagerly head outdoors to immerse ourselves in nature through camping and hiking. However, we don’t shy away from the cold—during the winter months, you can find us on the ski hill, or gliding across ice rinks. This love for both outdoor adventures and cozy indoor gatherings defines our family’s spirited and tight-knit bond.

SOMEONE YOU ADMIRE? (OR YOUR HERO)

My father, known for his honesty and integrity, has deeply influenced my approach to work. His steadfast principle that his word is his bond has guided me to ensure that my word is as reliable as any formal agreement, shaping my career and fostering trust in all my professional relationships.

WORDS YOU LIVE BY: (FAVOURITE QUOTE OR LIFE PHILOSOPHY)

It’s all for the cause.

    ERIC

    ROLE

    Field Operations Manager, Red Deer

    WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT BEING PART OF THE SCOTT BUILDERS TEAM?

    What I love most about being part of the SBI team is the strong sense of collaboration and community that touches all aspects of our work. We’re not just a group of individuals; we are a cohesive unit of great people who thrive on working together. The team-oriented approach allows each member to come together, building off one another’s strengths to deliver great projects that enrich the communities we who work in.

    WHAT INITIALLY DREW YOU TO THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY & WHAT MADE YOU STAY?

    I initially chose to go into construction because I was looking for a career path that was stable and would allow me to grow over time. I initially started with a residential home builder which inspired me to move into commercial construction with Scott Builders. This transition provided the opportunity to take on larger, more challenging projects. I’ve stayed in construction because it feeds my passion for building and the industry is always changing and presenting new challenges enabling me to continue grow and further develop my skills.    

    WHEN YOU’RE NOT HARD AT WORK, WHERE CAN WE FIND YOU?

    When I’m not hard at work, you can find me enjoying the great outdoors. I love camping with family, hunting and spending time at the lake. When I’m not camping you can still find me outside trying new recipes on my smoker and cooking for family & friends.

    SOMEONE YOU ADMIRE? (OR YOUR HERO)

    My grandfather left a lasting impression on my growing up and as an adult. He lived a long, good life, and worked hard to instill good values in his family. I’ve always looked up to him and have worked hard to apply the lessons he instilled in me.

      BIO

      ANDREW

      ROLE

      Business Development Manager

      WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT BEING PART OF THE SCOTT BUILDERS TEAM?

      I love the freedom and flexibility I have in my role. Working with the team at Scott Builders has allowed me to connect with great people and leading the Social Committee and planning events for our Staff and their families has been incredibly rewarding. Throughout my time here, I’ve not only contributed to countless projects but also provided support and camaraderie to our staff. The combination of a supportive work environment and the belief that I can thrive here is what keeps me motivated to show up day after day.

      WHAT INITIALLY DREW YOU TO THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY & WHAT MADE YOU STAY?

      Coming from a family deeply rooted in construction, with my dad, brother, and several other relatives being skilled in various trades, I’ve always had a knack for building and practicality. I take great pride in being able to handle tasks that others would typically hire someone else to do. I get a great sense of accomplishment when I can transform a set of drawings into a tangible structure that exceeds the client’s expectations months down the line. Witnessing their astonishment and satisfaction with the results brings immense gratification and has kept me happy within the construction industry throughout my career. Working at Scott Builders feels like a second home to me, and that’s precisely why I’ve chosen to stay.

      WHEN YOU’RE NOT HARD AT WORK, WHERE CAN WE FIND YOU?

      When I’m not at work you can find me with my family. From working out with my spouse to getting my kids ready for school, I love spending time with my family. Family time for me usually means working on personal projects, assisting with homework, playing catch in the backyard, or laughing at funny videos that will embarrass my children. Truly there is never a dull moment in my house.

      SOMEONE YOU ADMIRE? (OR YOUR HERO)

      My dad has always been my role model, even though he passed away several years ago, his legacy has left a deeply rooted mark on me. He embodied integrity and honor, and no matter how badly I messed up, I knew he would always support me unconditionally. It’s that same unwavering support that I strive to provide to my own kids. I take immense pride in watching my children succeed, and it fills my heart with joy. And last but not least, my spouse, who is a constant source of love and encouragement. Without her, I would be lost.

      WORDS YOU LIVE BY: (FAVOURITE QUOTE OR LIFE PHILOSOPHY)

      “Do better and suck less.” Initially, it started as a joke about dealing with subpar tradespeople, where the minimum expectation was for them to improve even slightly in their invoicing, workmanship, or simply showing up to work. However, it has evolved into a personal mantra, a reminder to constantly seek improvement in every aspect of life, striving to be a little better each day.

        Without exception, the basic principles of sustainability, i.e. high R-values, optimal vapour barriers, high efficiency HVAC units, LED lighting and enhanced ventilation are now part of every Scott project.
