earthworks. Geoff has been a part of CIF since 2010. In the years since, he’s witnessed the company grow and evolve significantly. When he joined, for example, the company had only recently set up their first batch plant – now they have three. Also, back then, the company did one or two large-scale projects per year – they now take on at least three-to-five large projects per year, and they have the capacity to do as many as six. Geoff partly credits that growth to the company’s decision to focus on the mining industry – “which seems like it’s been on an uptick for quite a while,” he says. “We work at gold mines and copper mines and coal mines, and there just seems to be a lot of work out there,” he explains. “And with the workforce we’ve accumulated over the years, and with the experience we’ve earned, we’re able to take on more and more of that work.” Geoff also credits the company’s growth to their policy of continuous improvement and internal investment. He says that’s been a part of the company’s ethos from the start: “The success we’ve had over the years comes from investing back in the company,” he says. “We’re always looking at ourselves internally. We’re reviewing all our processes and our infrastructure and our equipment, and we’re continually upgrading. We’re putting time and money back into the business. I think that’s been a continual part of their success. That’s something we’ve always held onto.” These days, CIF Construction takes on a “huge range” of JUNE 2023
