We welcomed clients, vendors, and our Edmonton team to check out the new shop space during our recent open house.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the games, food, prizes, and great conversations!

As part of BCA’s report on the skilled trades: Laying the Foundation, we were excited to be part of their video project, highlighting the real stories behind Alberta’s skilled trades.

In the video, two of our very own Everyday Mavericks, Jason Sand and Sara Abbott, shared their journey into the trades and why this work matters now more than ever.

We were grateful for the opportunity to work with the Business Council of Alberta on this project, and to help share real stories from the front lines of Alberta’s skilled trades.

As we wrap up another year, we want to take a moment to thank our valued clients, trusted partners, and dedicated team who have been a part of our journey this year at Startec. Your support and collaboration are what drive us forward every day.

Happy Holidays from our team to yours!

On World Food Day, we recognize the essential work that goes into preserving food and minimizing waste in the supply chain.

This year, our team took on a challenging retrofit at a Western Canadian food processing facility, installing two new blast freezer tunnels. By ensuring faster, more efficient freezing, these systems help our clients store food at peak quality, reducing waste and optimizing production.

As the world’s focus sharpens on food production and sustainability, Startec is dedicated to building long-lasting, innovative systems that help processors keep pace with demand while reducing environmental impact!

Exciting news at Startec, as we announce the appointment of Randy Watt as our new Chief Financial Officer! With an impressive career spanning professional accounting and extensive consulting and advisory experience, Randy brings rich expertise and a people-centric approach to our team.

Randy's journey has always been about solving problems, driving efficiencies, and empowering people – the most valuable assets in any organization. As our CFO, he is passionate about working with exceptional individuals across Startec to deliver effective solutions to our clients and support a culture of growth and success.

Randy believes in never stopping the learning process, always giving 100%, and making a positive impact on the lives of others. His dedication to continuous improvement and his energy in working with teams perfectly embody what it means to be an Everyday Maverick.

Please join us in welcoming Randy to Startec!

Startec recently participated in SAIT’s pre-employment Industry Night! It was an incredible opportunity for us to engage with students from diverse programs such as Refrigeration & Air Conditioning, Pipe-trades, Electrical, Welding, Carpentry, and Cabinetmaking.

Our dedicated team, including Nathan Preet (Production Manager), Coltier Crierie (HR Manager), and Kiana Stata-Luzentales (HR Coordinator), was present to connect with students and provide valuable insights into the industry.

As Everyday Mavericks, we understand the importance of networking for students entering the workforce, and we're here to offer guidance on job applications and provide a glimpse into the industry landscape.

Our partnership with SAIT is a collaboration where everyone wins – Startec, SAIT, and the students.

But our collaboration doesn't end there! We're continually exploring new avenues to connect with SAIT, whether it's through career fairs, presentations, donations, or co-op opportunities. During the recent event, we collected resumes and had insightful conversations with students. We're excited to further expand our involvement with SAIT's trade programs. Stay tuned for more updates!
