Digital project management tools support scheduling, documentation and communication, while the company is actively testing AI tools. Technology, however, remains closely tied to the knowledge and judgment of experienced tradespeople. “Our people are the company, and we’ve always invested in them,” says Paivio. GloverHill sponsors apprentices in plumbing, pipefitting and millwrighting, pairing them with experienced journeypersons. Over five decades, the company has trained hundreds of apprentices, many of whom have progressed into journeyperson, foreperson and supervisory roles. Retention is supported by steady work across multiple sectors and a workplace that gives tradespeople opportunities to develop. Approximately half of the company’s staff have been with Glover-Hill for more than 15 years. BUILDING ON 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE Glover-Hill’s growth has also brought increasingly large and complex projects. In 2010, its work at Duffin Creek included a new dewatering facility, sludge removal and incineration trains, and an ashhandling facility, representing more than 200,000 labour hours. In 2022, the company began its largest project to date, valued at approximately $80 million, at the G.E. Booth Wastewater Treatment Plant. 43 OCT 2026 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
