I started my career with O’Connell in 1998 working as a Purchasing Agent at our operations in Wabush, NL. Through development efforts, hard work and experience, I moved into the Controller position and now work at our operations in St. John’s, NL. I thoroughly enjoy the busy and challenging work environment and consider myself very fortunate to work with a group of very caring, fair and genuinely nice people. |

| It has been 24 wonderful years working at O'Connell. I left my small home town to come to Montreal, a place where I had no family or friends at the time. I started working at O'Connell and immediately felt part of a family as everyone was so welcoming. I am fond of the management team as they helped me develop and learn skills that I may not have had the opportunity to learn elsewhere. |  |

Many who work in the construction industry often say that, “Construction is in their blood”. I can honestly say that H.J. O’Connell Construction is in my blood. O’Connell has been a part of my family’s life ever since my father, Gilbert Curran, joined the company as a young engineer in 1948 and retired 48 years later in 1998. O’Connell was the only company he ever worked for. I was hired as a summer student by O’Connell during 1981-1984 and in 1989 I joined the company on a full time basis. H.J. O’Connell Ltd. was founded in 1931 and the organization has managed to survive for nearly a century due to the fact that it is a dynamic workplace. The company understands the construction industry and adapts to the ever changing environment. It is a fantastic place to work for and I am honored to be a part of this exciting and dynamic team. |

| Joining H.J. O'Connell over 4 years ago was the right decision for me. It is a great feeling to work for a company that allows you to grow and take on many responsibilities. The support I get from the management is remarkable; they really make you feel as though you are a part of the family and not just another employee. I am looking forward to future growth and development with H.J. O'Connell. |  |
