Almita Values Moments
Shawn Winters and his crew are currently on a project up at Syncrude Aurora installing piles for a 72kV power
line. During the install at some locations the crew found hard difficult soils and the piles were not able to be
installed. Shawn’s ability to adapt and switch gears to keep the job moving forward has been the big part of this
project's success. Moving from tower location to tower location Shawn was able to see a path forward for the
locations his team had challenges at. Shawn presented everyone with a solution that would save our client
money and in the process was able to pick up an additional tower location for Almita to install. Shawn’s forward
thinking is the perfect example of Find A Way. Keep up the great work Shawn.
As per usual, Kashif goes above and beyond. While I have hundreds of examples to shine a light on this, I’ll
highlight something a bit more current. Almita was approached by Imperial Oil to support them on a pipe rack
project at their Barlow Terminal in Calgary. This challenging project has very limited access in all directions,
coupled with stiff soils and high loads. Upon getting the general sense from Imperial that Stantec was struggling
to come up with a feasible foundation solution, I called a meeting between Imperial’s group, Stantec’s group,
and our group. Kashif took the stage and ran with it. He was well prepared with tables, notes, and diagrams, and
flawlessly answered all questions and concerns with zero hesitation. He didn’t just make Almita look awesome, he
showed them that we are awesome. I have no doubt in my mind that this opened up a wealth of future
opportunities between Almita and both other parties involved. Well done, Kashif!!
Erik started as an estimator In April of last year. He didn’t just hit the ground running, he hit the ground in a full
sprint. I’ve seen estimators come and go, and 99% of the time, there’s a learning curve upon being hired. There
was no learning curve for Erik. It was as if he had been estimating with Almita since the early 90’s. He
immediately identified ways to improve upon the bidding process and continually finds efficiencies to this day.
Furthermore, he is developing into a very strong business development leader. He has zero hesitation to reach
out to the client for clarifications or post-bid follow ups. His attention to detail and authentic passion for what
he does makes me so incredibly proud and grateful to have him on our team. Fantastic Work, Erik!!
