MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT:
We are especially proud of our maintenance department, which is staffed with 6 full-time employees in the Fort St. John area, some of whom have been with the company for more than 10 years. Our maintenance personnel in the other communities where we manage properties are often the property managers as well.
Our Senior Maintenance man, Doug Wigglesworth, has worked with Lita since 1988 and transferred to Li-Car Management Group at its beginning, bringing his more than 20 years of construction experience. He holds a Fourth Class Power Engineering ticket and personally supervises all work required on our boiler systems.
The maintenance department identifies the repair and maintenance requirements for each property, which is reported to the Owners. We are then able to perform almost all non-journeyman trades functions in-house.
