Message From Our President

I am proud to be the leader of North American Construction Group, a dynamic organization with a rich history of success. It is an exciting time for our company, as we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on unprecedented growth in the Alberta oil sands and across Western Canada.

History and Partnerships
NACG started in 1953 with countless highway projects across Alberta, British Colombia and the Yukon. Over the past half century, we have made an extensive contribution to the construction landscape across Western Canada. Our reputation is built on a history of great partnerships. There are some organizations we have been working with since the early 60’s and ‘70s and we treat them with the same enthusiasm as we do when we’re working with new clients. It is our dedication to fostering relationships that has gained our company trust throughout the industry.

Dedication to Safety
Our distinguished safety record is a testament to our un-compromised commitment to a safe and healthy work environment. Being a leader in safety contributes to our efficiency - not only does minimizing accidents increase the work speed but also it enables us to attract and retain some of the most sought after talent in the industry.

People and Performance
We truly are more than just big equipment. The difference is in our specialized talent and the knowledge of our people. Achieving the highest standard of quality is our passion - our commitment to extraordinary performance runs deep in everything we do.

Unmatched Equipment
Our impressive fleet of over 600 pieces of heavy equipment machines includes the world’s largest mining shovels, the highest capacity haul trucks and the latest in piling and pipeline technology. We not only possess an extensive equipment inventory, but more importantly, we possess several strategically located maintenance facilities and the knowledge required to achieve peak performance.

Management and Governance
Managing sustainable growth in a thriving and highly competitive region can be challenging. However, I am confident that with our experienced management team’s vision, we can pass on value to our clients, employees, and shareholders.

Our initial public offering in November 2006 has enabled our company to obtain the necessary capital to accelerate our growth. As a publicly traded company on the NYSE and the TSX, we have implemented corporate governance processes which enhance management’s accountability.

Promising Future
Our history of achievement, combined with unparalleled knowledge, equipment, and capital, position our company for success in the Alberta oil sands and across western Canada.

I am proud to lead North American Construction Group during this time of remarkable growth and extraordinary opportunity.

Best regards,

Rod Ruston

President and Chief Executive Officer
