John De Blasis

Site Foreman

Like his father before him John “D” loves construction. With 25 years in the construction industry, John is a specialist in the overall management of onsite operations and sub-trade organization.

As a young man John was fortunate to work for, with and learn from his father in the construction business. After obtaining his college degree in marketing, then some time as a bank small business account manager, John decided to go back into the field he always loved: construction. While working as a Site Foreman for a well known Toronto based company he elevate his skills specializing in drywall installation, taping, finishing and acoustical ceiling installations. A few years later John left to form his own construction company where he sharpened his client relations, communication and estimating skills. John also achieved certification in training and supervising as well as certification in health, safety, fall protection and WHMIS

Now as a member and working with OBORNE CONTRACTING INC. for over 5 years, john implements his experience in the position of Site Foreman. John has become an important part of the team and his “Mr, Nice Guy” demeanour makes him loved by all.

A truly valuable asset to the OBORNE CONTRACTING INC. team.
