Quality

As a progressive and innovative contractor, Terus has implemented a comprehensive Quality Management System, structured as per ISO 9001. Our QMS brings together our operating Best Practices, testing procedures, test documentation, project specifications and construction plans, and Industry and Regulatory Specifications to ensure the work is completed correctly. While ensuring we meet specification is a requirement for the current job, we are always looking to improve on the next project.

Our Continuous Process Improvement program (CPI) is a key method for identify root causes and then implement corrective actions to prevent defects from reoccurring.

We also make it a priority to employ residents in each of the communities that we operate in. Our 580 employees come from diverse backgrounds across BC and the Yukon, which we believe helps us grow as a company and makes us successful.

Our Student Partnering Program also gives us a chance to connect with post-secondary students. We can help these students with the cost of their education and provide valuable industry experience through strategic summer work placements.
