within the five-year mark as well.” The leadership team emphasizes that JA Tech maintains strong partnerships with most of its key vendors and suppliers. Gar Bird, the Business Development Manager, elaborates on the collaborative dynamics with manufacturers specializing in particular products. “We cultivate associations with specific manufacturers for the purpose of marketing distinct products. For instance, we specialize in the sale of variable speed drives, catering extensively to the mining industry. Our connection with the manufacturer of these drives is a key factor in our success in this market segment.” JA Tech is part of several professional organizations and holds industry-related credentials. They are an indigenous-owned company and a Certified Aboriginal Business with the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business. Additionally, the company is an active member of ISNetworld, ComplyWorks, Avetta, and CanQual. JA Tech is also a member of SIMSA, CanREA, First Nations Power Authority, IMCN, APEGS, the Electrical Contractors Association of Saskatchewan, and the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. Looking at the company’s potential for future growth, Greg states, “Right now, our building and our support staff are at a good size for the amount of people that we have. But that being said, we’d like to grow in other areas.” “We’re more specialized, and we’d like to take on more of the specialized electrical. We want to expand our engineering a little bit more. We have a few engineers on staff, so we’d like to take on a few more engineering projects. Growth, not so much in personnel, but in different services.” “We’re getting more into renewables,” he added. “We want to expand our instrumentation services as well.” JANUARY 2024
