Leadership
Chris Fillmore, the company’s dynamic leader, is responsible for day-to-day operations and strategy of Fillmore Construction and Legacy Equipment. He began his construction career in 1999, working part-time while obtaining a civil engineering degree at the University
of Alberta.
In the past 20 years, Chris has become a professional engineer and moved up through the corporate ladder at Fillmore Construction. Chris started as a project coordinator working directly with the company’s founder and worked his way up through project manager and vice president roles. Ultimately, he took over the reins of the company, becoming president of Fillmore Construction in 2016.
He is a pragmatic and logical decision maker who believes that construction and one’s work environment should be fun. After conversations with staff, clients, subcontractors, suppliers and vendors, one almost always hears Chris finish with his trademark
sign-off of “have fun”. Through his leadership, Fillmore Construction remains focused on the successful formula of relationship-based business.
