In this episode of Careers Under Construction, Justis Pederson sits down with Alisdair Dickinson, Senior Vice President at Graham Construction and a Chartered Civil Engineer with 25+ years of experience across Canada and the UK, to unpack what truly separates successful projects from failed ones and how contracts, collaboration and people all intersect.
From starting his career in Scotland to moving his family across the world to Canada, Alisdair shares the moment that changed everything — including why Graham didn’t just interview him but interviewed his wife too.
Tune in as Alisdair challenges common myths around construction, shares how the industry created life-changing opportunities for his family and explains why projects often fail because of contracts — not people.
