History

H.J. O'Connell Ltd. has been a leader in the heavy civil engineering construction industry since 1931.

Originally, under the leadership of Montrealer Herbert John O'Connell, the company quickly grew into one of Canada's leading heavy construction firms, establishing Les Entreprises de Construction de Québec Ltée. (L.E.C.Q.) in 1937 and H.J. O'Connell Construction Ltd. in 1970.

Today the company is 100% employee owned. When an O'Connell project is being executed there is an employee-owner very close to the decision making process and always available for client consultations.
 
Our 75 plus year history ranks H.J. O'Connell Ltd. among the oldest of such firms in Canada. Our prosperity is a result of our innovative approach to business and our continued interest in growth and development. Since our establishment, we have grown to be a leader in the various markets in which we provide quality service. Our diversified business includes expertise in Mining, Energy, Roads, and Bridges as well as Municipal, Industrial, Northern and Project Management related work. Our clients have come to know us as an organization that continuously strives to find win-win solutions where projects are completed on time and on budget.
 
Our ability to identify opportunities, attract and retain the finest talent in the market and continuously serve and exceed our clients’ expectations will ensure our success for years to come.
