Keep learning, keep succeeding.
Blair is one of the long standing employees of CP Services and what a blessing he is to the company! Previous to that, he was in the Canadian Armed Forces and even went to school to become a Police Officer. As he was doing the training, he realized that it wasn’t for him so he tried exploring other career path. His brother was a carpenter for CP Services and recommended that he should try out working in the field. An opportunity opened up and he was able to secure a job and started as a utility operator.
Being new to the industry, he enjoyed having access and experience site specific tasks. It made him understand the value of different trades and how it keeps the site running. Seeing how the techs work on all the machinery, being hands on in solving problems when it arise and being able to fix it gave him motivation to pursue his trade. Blair proved himself and stood out as one of the best workers of the company. From having very little experience in trades, he was able to advance into being a site foreman on the operations side. According to Jeff, his supervisor, “You can always count on Blair, whether it’s going to the extra mile on a job or helping in other departments. Seeing Blair progress his career from operating a Tank Farm to switching into a maintenance role fixing the Tank Farm is a great achievement for him and CP is very proud to be part of his journey.” His supervisor and coworkers couldn’t be any happier to be working alongside him.
As years passed by, he felt like he wanted to do more. He decided to put himself to an industrial mechanics school. It was a difficult decision as he is leaving a good position while ensuring to support his family while studying. CP Services supported his decision to leave the company to pursue another path. After studying, he came back as a Millwright Apprentice and is now currently working at one of the biggest projects the company has.
Blair is an exceptional worker, and even more as a father. On his time off, he will spend most of his time with his 2 sons Cashius and Tyrion. He mentioned his kids keep him busy on his day off – especially Tyrion, the younger one! He ensures that they do family activities and spend as much time with each other before going back to work again. For Blair, his family is what keeps him motivated to always learn new things and grow in his career.
