Office Manager: Teresa
Teresa! I would say that she is easily one of the most important people here! Most of our employees don't appreciate how much she really does to help us seamlessly deliver our HVAC, electrical and plumbing services in Okotoks and the Foothills.
Teresa is our Office Manager and has been with G.M. Mechanical since 2011. I think we'll give her the day off. She is a bookkeeper by trade and does an excellent job keeping our books in order. She is also our safety manager and has done a thankless job of ensuring that our COR for safety excellence remains valid. And yet, with both of those titles, the hardest job that she probably does is keeping me from spending too much money! I really appreciate that!
She currently lives in High River and has done so for over 30 years. I even remember when I was a child, they moved into the cul-de-sac across the street. With her husband Gary, she has two grown-up kids and one grandchild.
She states that her favourite part of her job is " the co-workers." I know that she has fun often joking around, as she has an unmistakeable laugh that can be heard throughout the office.
Her career aspirations are to retire on "some beach, somewhere." Her favourite task is when she gets creative about finding new solutions to problems.
One thing I had to ask my employees if only for my own benefit, was, "Why G.M. Mechanical?" I got this from Teresa: "G.M. Mechanical treats their employees fairly, and my fellow workers are good to work with. It's also close to home."
Some of Teresa's hobbies include travelling, swimming, boating, and camping. I know she looks forward to next spring when they can get their new trailer for some new camping adventures!
