Congratulations to RAM’s Director of Project Management, Jesse Unke, for being recognized as one of the Top 40 Under 40 in Canadian Construction by On-Site Magazine and SitePartners!
The 40 Under 40 in Canadian Construction consists of a cross-section of the top-performers in the industry, the list includes representatives from all facets of construction — from those spending long hours on-site, to those developing new tools to streamline how we plan, design and build.
“There is no shortage of talent in Canada’s construction industry. Builders may not always get the credit they are due, but coast to coast, the next generation of leaders are finding new ways of working, embracing novel technologies and driving the industry forward — all while maintaining strong connections to the local communities they are helping build.”
