Safety
Safety always comes first at Terus. No exceptions. Maximizing safety for everyone is our ongoing commitment towards Goal Zero—our target for zero workplace accidents.
Environment
Everyone at Terus lives in the same communities we operate in, so taking care of our world means everything to us. Our goal is to improve performance while reducing our environment impact. Therefore, we have mandated practices to take extra care in the following areas:
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.
Innovation
Terus has access to the latest technologies and innovative products, which we use in our projects. One of our priorities is to be at the forefront of the road construction industry and ensure we use the most advanced and appropriate products for each project, regardless of how big or small it is. In an industry that’s constantly evolving, we will always do our best to use innovative solutions to satisfy the clients and communities we serve.
Community
Terus is proud to be good corporate citizens and leaders in our communities. All our operations support community groups and charities though donations and sponsorships.
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.
First Nations Partnerships
We live and work in the traditional territories of many different First Nations communities and we are proud have established multiple successful Joint Venture partnerships with First Nations groups to operate businesses in these communities.
MISSION STATEMENT
By developing and empowering our employees, we deliver quality infrastructure solutions that serve our communities and connect people. We prioritize a culture of health, safety, and sustainability.
