AMBA Newsletter: Fall 2022

Opportunity awaits in our Fall 2022 newsletter.

In this quarter’s update, we are highlighting Alberta’s urgent need of apprentice MBSE Ironworkers. Every erector and contractor that I have talked to are all short staffed and are having a lot of difficulty attracting new employees into the trade. You may be eligible for our awards and bursaries valued from $500 to $1,500!

Your Board of Directors has specifically targeted new member growth as a goal for the next few quarters. We know that there are numerous erector companies working around the province that are not currently enjoying the benefits of membership. Our collective strength is in numbers and in having a broad base of professionally qualified and ticketed member companies in all market segments throughout the province.

Get to know our Featured Member Westman Steel, and check out a project profile form Metal Structure Concepts, Stag’s Hollow Estate Production facility, when it came time to expand their winery, they engaged MSC to build their new warehouse for their Shuttleworth Creek Vineyard.

Bexson Construction is a growing business, their main office is located in Lloydminster, Alberta with work all around Alberta and into Saskatchewan. They are seeking hard working individuals to join their team.

Executive Director Report: Spring 2022

What times we live in! From the worst pandemic since the Spanish flu, to war in Europe, run away inflation, political upheaval and unprecedented supply chain issues. Yet, Alberta remains a rewarding place to do business! We have seen our share of boom and busts over the years, but well run companies find a way to survive and thrive. It is a testament to the women and men of Alberta who continue to adapt to whatever the current conditions are. The State of the Industry update and the AMBA President’s message in the April Newsletter outline the many challenges and opportunities ahead.

Message from the Chair: Spring 2022
