At the flick of a switch, your home lights up. Most people rarely think about the infrastructure that makes electricity instantly available—but behind the scenes, an enormous amount of expertise and coordination keeps communities across Canada powered.
Valard Construction is proud to be one of the companies behind that reliability.
As Canada’s premier utility infrastructure provider, Valard has grown since its founding in 1978 to serve clients from coast to coast to coast. With deep experience in transmission, distribution, and renewables, the company delivers industry‑leading safety, quality, and environmental management on every project.
Jonathan Brennan, Safety Lead for Major Projects, highlights what sets Valard apart.
“We provide our clients quality work on time, and we finish work in a safe environment for all our employees,” Brennan said. “Valard excels at building large electrical infrastructure in Canada with an emphasis on getting our employees home safely every day.”
Valard’s unparalleled commitment to safety
Safety is the foundation of Valard’s work—and earlier this year, that commitment was recognized nationally. The company was named Canada’s Safest Utilities and Electrical Employer at the 2025 Canadian Safety Excellence Awards.
This achievement reflects the dedication of every Valard employee across the country. Crews look out for one another, take pride in their work, and embody the company’s safety culture every day.
“A big part of Valard for myself is that our safety program has developed into something we can be very proud of,” Brennan said. “You don’t win Canada’s Safest Utility Employer by chance. You build a culture where we’re known across the country as being a safe employer and providing a safe workplace for all our team members.
“We’ve proven that training, education, and supporting our workforce is a big part of that collective success.”
