Our training initiative

Training

We have invested significantly in training processes that grow, develop and train our staff. Our commitment to continuing education encourages our people to be the best they can, work safely, and care about the work they perform.

Why it matters

Bringing you our very best.

We care about the things that matter to you and your customers, so we invest in the talent and skill of our crews. That training benefits you in three ways.

  • Skilled Work

    We pride ourselves on sending skilled staff to do a good job. Investing in training helps ensure better service and a better result for you. It has also encouraged longevity, so our crews keep bringing more experience to maintaining your properties.

  • Responsible Work

    By investing in our staff, we better enable them to invest in you. Prioritizing the continuing education of our people encourages an attitude that goes past just getting the job done: our staff take responsibility to go above and beyond.

  • Safe Work

    Alongside job skills, we put responsible work practices in place and emphasize safety training. Safer work leads to better work.

    Our commitment to safety
Our training process

Three steps for every team member.

Our training strategy is broken down into orientation, job skills and continuing education.

  1. Proper orientation

    Nobody reaches a customer site until they have been oriented, supervised and evaluated.

    1. New Employee Orientation

      New employees are trained on company policies, safety standards, rights (e.g. the right to refuse unsafe work), and job specific duties.

    2. Crew Lead Supervision

      Employees are placed under the direction of an experienced crew lead who supervises safe work procedures and proper execution of tasks.

    3. Evaluation and Training

      Before being allowed on customer sites, our people are put through evaluation and training to ensure proper levels of skill and safety.

  2. Job skills

    Our staff undergo a variety of training programs so they can perform their jobs safely and effectively.
