Driven by a culture of ownership, we draw upon our vast experience and rich history to build brighter futures and make the communities we serve a better place.

Our guiding principles, Poole’s Rules, were penned by PCL Construction’s founder, Ernie Poole in 1948 when his sons, John and George, bought the company. Ernie’s intent was to continue his tradition of hard-working, honest and fair business practices. Today, his rules are an integral part of PCL’s culture, serving as the foundation for our values and guiding the way we do business.

Powered by industry leading experts, PCL’s solar team has been selected as the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) company of choice for over 6 GW of photovoltaic (PV) capacity across North America and Australia, powering over one million homes and businesses in our communities annually. PCL is a trusted solutions provider and has been selected to build over 1.2 GWh of BESS projects, underscoring our expertise, specialized knowledge and skilled workforce.

Our employee mobility program allows for the seamless execution of any utility-scale turnkey solar PV, BESS or solar PV + BESS project. Our seasoned experts move from one project to the next, taking all their valuable skills and lessons learned with them.

We also seek to build long-term relationships with Indigenous peoples and communities through meaningful dialogue and engagement. These partnerships align with our company’s core values and help us create inclusive, culturally aware and diverse workplaces in our offices and on our job sites.
