Cairo Development Ltd.’s Post

We are delighted to introduce Michael MacKinnon, an exceptional Senior Project Manager at Cairo Development. With an extensive background in the construction industry, Mike excels in problem-solving, promoting teamwork, and achieving results. His dedication and expertise play an instrumental role in driving projects to success.   ❓How long have you worked in the construction industry? "I began my journey in construction as a Journeyman Carpenter, earning my designation through SAIT. With 35 years of industry experience, I've contributed to a wide range of commercial, residential, and government projects. I'm excited to be a part of the growth and positive change that Cairo is bringing to the housing market."   ❓What do you enjoy most about your role at Cairo Development? "At Cairo Development, the most enjoyable part of my role is the amazing team and culture that I am surrounded by each day. The collaboration among colleagues with shared goals and commitment to the success of our projects and of our company is remarkable."   ❓What is the best advice you can give to someone who is just starting their career in construction? "Communication is key. It is important that one understands what is being asked and to ask questions in return, even if you may think the question is trivial. It is equally as important to listen. Completing a task without understanding the “why” and what the end goal is will make the endeavor unsuccessful. To achieve the top results, make a plan and utilize your team and manager for support." #EmployeeAppreciation #ConstructionIndustry #EmployeeSpotlight #ProjectManager

We are delighted to introduce Zachary Prokosh, one of our dedicated Project Coordinators at Cairo Development. Zach is always eager to contribute and grow, bringing intelligence and a positive attitude to every project he tackles. His hands-on approach, technical expertise, and commitment to excellence are key strengths that enhance our team. ❓What is your favourite part of your role as a Project Coordinator at Cairo Development?   "I love the variety of roles I can take on within the Cairo ecosystem! I'm able to apply all my Red Seal Carpentry trade knowledge and PM schooling in my daily work. Being onsite gives me awareness of potential issues, and my trade knowledge and skills enable me to always be part of the solution." ❓How do you stay organized and manage multiple tasks and deadlines effectively?   "My number one tool is my construction journal. The job is too fast-paced to rely on memory—if it’s not written down, it’s a risk to the project. I log everything and review often, which always leads to my “Top 5’s.” This tool helps me prioritize and avoid feeling overwhelmed. I make a list of the 5 most pressing tasks, work until they’re complete, and then create another list of the top 5 project priorities." ❓Which achievements or milestones at Cairo Development are you particularly proud of?   "I’m proud to be part of an amazing team—Cairo is the “biggest” small company. I feel very supported in my role and have the unique opportunity to learn directly from our owner and upper management, which isn’t common at most companies of this size. As I approach my one-year anniversary with Cairo, I’m excited about our bright future. My ongoing quest for learning is always fulfilled in my current role, and I look forward to future roles with Cairo Development." ❓What advice would you offer to someone aspiring to become a Project Coordinator in the construction field?   "I personally believe that having hands-on construction knowledge is crucial. The combination of my Carpentry Red Seal qualification and my Construction Estimating and Administrative Controls certificate gives me a unique perspective. It enables me to fully understand blueprints, engage in informed conversations with trades, and discuss topics intelligently—all while being mindful of budget and schedule constraints. Also, my strong background in Alberta/Canadian contract law is an asset, allowing me to hold all parties accountable." #ConstructionIndustry #ProjectCoordinator #EmployeeAppreciation #EmployeeFeature
