thorough, and we set people up to succeed. Ongoing training ensures they keep growing in their roles,” Briar explained. Innovation also plays an important role in how CEC operates. Administratively, they’ve adopted tools like SiteDocs to streamline site management. On the operational side, investments in modern, highcapacity cranes—such as their Liebherr LTM 1650 8.1—have opened doors to larger, more complex work, including in the wind energy sector. “The Liebherr is the largest road-legal mobile crane in BC, and it’s allowed us to reach new customers and sectors,” said Ryan. “We’re not afraid to invest in new tools if it means better service and safer work.” While growth has been impressive, CEC has been just as deliberate in building a company where skilled tradespeople want to work. The team’s community engagement, strong internal culture, and reputation for taking on exciting projects have made it a draw for talent across the province.
