Employee ownership means providing extraordinary performance and outstanding value. In Toronto, no one exemplified the solution-provider mindset more than the late Keith Kerr, a beloved long-time PCL employee.

In his nearly 25-year career with PCL Construction, Keith Kerr worked on the operations team in Toronto as a mechanical and electrical coordinator. He proudly left his mark on multiple landmark projects throughout his career, including Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort, Maple Leaf Square, the Air Canada Centre (now Scotiabank Arena) and Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada.

Kerr passed away after a battle with cancer in 2013. More than 10 years later, PCL employees still strive to mirror his authentic demeanor, outstanding commitment to work and constant focus on delivering exceptional client service.

“Keith had an excellent way of calming people down and getting them to refocus during tough or high-stress situations,” says Frank Pyatt, P3 post-completion warranty manager at PCL in Toronto, who worked with Kerr on a number of projects throughout his career.

“Owners, clients and consultants all loved working with Keith because they knew that when he came into a meeting, there would be no pretense, and only direct discussion about the nature of an issue and how it could be resolved and accepted by all stakeholders.”

Kerr left a lasting impact on PCL Toronto operations through the innovative thinking he consistently demonstrated on the job site.
