Based in Edmonton, Susan specializes in recruiting for the Building Materials & Construction Supply Chain. Experienced with manufacturing, fabrication, distribution and service industries, Susan has built a network of candidates and clients through her commitment and dedication to the right long-term solutions.

Growing up on a dairy farm in the heart of the Ottawa Valley, Susan loves Canadian weather with its hot stormy summers, gorgeous falls of red, orange and yellows and frosty winters pouring sticky maple syrup over pristine snow.
As an older child in a family of 8, working on the farm was hard, never-ending and as her dad would say, ‘It builds character’. Every day started and ended with milking cows and in between - planting or harvesting crops, maple sugar making, running equipment or working in the community.
Susan loves to say, “Moving away and working the crazy hours required to rise in the professional world in downtown Toronto felt like being on vacation”.
After 13 years, Susan moved away from the big city to Edmonton, Alberta, enrolled in International Business courses and joined an international recruiting firm. This was the beginning of an amazing journey into the world of manufacturing, distribution, service and everything in between. Clients loved her passion and interest in learning the inner workings of their operations and ability to understand their challenges.As a solution-based recruiter, Susan became a top performer creating success with her clients and establishing herself as a trusted partner. For candidates looking to transition to a new role, she understands what is at stake. Having pivoted from working on the land to a professional role on the 30th floor in downtown Toronto, and starting a new career in a new province, she understand transition.
Fast-forward to today, Susan has 20+ years recruiting experience combined with a passion for the building materials industry. During the years when it was hard to hire trades people, Susan bought, renovated, rented and sold houses. She laughs and says, “My daughter grew up in the aisles of the DIY big box stores”. Susan currently lives downtown Edmonton with Mr. Wonderful and two rambunctious puppies.
