Kyle Ross

Operations Manager, Service

Kyle's leadership skills are evident through his mechanical manager role here at Uptime. After his experience playing in the National Lacrosse League for nine years and winning the NLL Championship with the Toronto Rock, he is now in charge of a slightly different team - one of highly trained mechanics and fabricators. Kyle has adapted well and gained knowledge and trust with customers and his team here at Uptime. Instead of scoring the game-winning goal, he goes above and beyond to keep things running smoothly. Combine Uptime’s great team of millwrights and apprentices, with an experienced captain like Kyle, and you will get customers who are not only satisfied but are more than happy with a job well done.

Working in BC and Alberta, Rob excels at designing efficient solutions for production lines, relocating large facilities, and installing compressor and air nets.

Gary Burgess

EH&S Officer

Gary has spent the majority of his time at Uptime implementing and fine tuning the safety program. His number one priority is the safety of our team which is easily noticeable as he lives and breathes our core values. Gary is constantly improving, learning, and going the extra mile to educate safety practices, and reduce the chance of worker risks and injuries. He does this by providing in-house training and safety related courses. Gary has background experience working with and around heavy machinery in regards to various types of construction. Some, but not all of his previous jobs include carpenter and heavy machinery operator. Now, as Uptime’s CSO (Construction Safety Officer), there is not much that he won't do to ensure the safety of our team and our customers is always first. You can trust that Gary’s got your back, and that he will ensure each job is done efficiently and safely.

We are looking for skilled professionals to join our team.
