Canter Construction

Why a happy workforce is a prerequisite for success , according to Canter Construction

Jonah ’ s background is , selfadmittedly , quite unique ; it ’ s not one that you ’ d most associate with an owner of a construction company . He didn ’ t inherit the tradition , he didn ’ t enter the trade at 18 like many others ; rather , Jonah began in the computer software industry .

As he recalls : “ My career began with several software

startups in the early 2000s , and one ended up being sold to Amazon . I started working for the e-commerce giant ’ s operational group , and through that journey I learned

One thing I did early on was crucial in helping to spring Canter Construction forward a lot about process improvements and how the implementation of Six Sigma can benefit an organization .

“ But then it was time to leave Amazon ,”

Jonah goes on . “ The hours were sky-high , and I wanted to go into an industry that needed some guidance . I landed on construction because I knew my skillset would be highly applicable .

“ Though I began my career in a different discipline , I did in fact have a background in construction work , of sorts . I worked in dock building when I was at high school , for example . It was amazing for me to see construction as an industry that you could make a healthy living from without spending all your waking hours at work .
