Mississauga-based builder
EllisDon was named the second best
employer in the country for 2009 in the Report of Business's annual
50-best list (PCL Constructors, another builder, based in Edmonton with an office in
Mississauga, came in first.)
One of the largest builders, contractors and project
management companies in the country, with 1,965 employees in Canada, about $2
billion in annual projects across the country, the States and the United Arab
Emirates, the employee-owned company is behind such projects as the
Bay-Adelaide Centre, Concord Park Place and the Ritz-Carlton.
"Having construction companies in both the first and second spot is
quite an achievement," said Janine Szczepanowski, EllisDon's vice-president of leadership and entrepreneurial development in a press release, "and it is a testament to what companies like
EllisDon and PCL have been able to do for the industry and its
perception as a solid career choice on a number of levels. We have had
another successful year and everyone's contribution has kept us amongst
the best of the best."
It's the ninth consecutive year EllisDon has placed on this list. Last year, they topped the list.
