Our Team

Kevin Cox was born in High Prairie, AB. He started Cox Contracting in 1976 with one gravel truck and a loader. “I always had an interest in equipment and building something out of dirt,” he says. He has over 40 years’ experience as a general contractor and gravel supplier. “It’s the success of completing things that others thought were impossible,” he says, of his commitment to the industry. “It’s watching how people advance over time and how they learn.” His free time is little but when he has some Kevin likes to attend rodeos, fish, hunt and ride his Harley.

Born and raised in High Prairie, Dustin Cox was led into the contracting field by his father, Kevin – a natural progression. Dustin studied business, contract management and procurement / acquisitions at both Lethbridge College and Mount Royal University. “What I enjoy most about my job is contributing to the bigger picture, in a project sense,” he says. In addition to his involvement at Cox Contractors, he worked as a Contracts Administrator at WorleyParsons. When he’s not working, Dustin can be found skiing, hiking, riding horses and travelling.

With a background in chemical process design and industrial project implementation, Julian Beaudry came to us with an array of technical knowledge and engineering skills.  Spending much of his career consulting with owners in the energy sector on large capital projects, he now hopes to add value here at Cox Contractors Ltd. while gaining new insights into project processes and civil works.  Julian is too smart to qualify to socialize with other people, so if he can be found outside of work, he’d likely be working on a project not yet disclosed to anyone.

Originally from Camrose AB, Cramer has been with the company since 2009. A graduate of Alberta Vocational College (now NorQuest College,) with a small business management certificate, he says he enjoys “everything,” about his job. “Nothing specific,” he says, “I like it all.” The company has a lot to offer its customers, he says, including “timely, generally meticulous service.” When he’s not at work, Cramer says he’s usually working on his old cars: a 1957 Chevrolet, a 1985 Trans Am and a 1972 Chevrolet pick-up.

Originally from Fort St. John BC, Slusar has been with the company for over 20 years. A Jour-neyman welder with over 35 years’ experience, he says he enjoys working for Cox Contractors. “It’s the variety of work,” he says, “and they’re just nice people to work for.” It’s also the satisfaction of a daily job well done, Slusar says. “We maintain a good product, we take pride in our work.” In his free time, he can generally be found fishing or visiting his children in Edmonton.
