Forbes Bros. Group of Companies

About

At the heart of Forbes Bros. Group of Companies is a culture deeply rooted in the concept of family. Since its inception, the firm has cultivated an environment where every team member is treated with respect and camaraderie, a principle that extends to their partnerships with clients and communities. This philosophy is crystallized in their core values: 'We Work Safe, We Work Hard, We Deliver Solutions, and We Are Family.' These aren't just slogans on a wall; they are the guiding principles that inform every project and decision. The team's dedication is so profound they are known to 'bleed orange,' a testament to their shared passion and commitment. This unwavering dedication to safety, a strong work ethic, and innovative problem-solving is how Forbes Bros. consistently strives to be the 'contractor of choice' in every market it enters, building trust and fostering long-term relationships that often span decades. This powerful legacy began in 1977, established by three industrious brothers—Mark, Earl, and Rob Forbes—on a farm in Saskatchewan, Canada. Initially balancing agriculture with powerline work, they soon dedicated themselves fully to the burgeoning powerline industry. Their vision and hard work fueled a remarkable expansion from a small local operation into one of North America's largest privately-held utility construction contractors. This growth was propelled by a series of strategic acquisitions that diversified their services into transmission, distribution, renewables, substations, and telecommunications. Guided by their foundational mission to 'Work Together To Build Things That Matter,' the company has successfully completed over 21,000 projects. They remain committed to not only delivering high-quality infrastructure but also to making a positive impact, encouraging employees to engage in community volunteering and supporting local initiatives in the areas where they live and work.
