This week Corey Limbeek from Centre Dufferin District High School shares a little bit about his experience and how JJS Contracting is contributing to our community’s future.

JJS Contracting has been in business since 2016 servicing the GTA and surrounding areas with custom excavation and dozer work. JJS contracting is run by owner Jesse Sandbrook with a long history in operating heavy machinery catering to the needs of you, the customer.

My position at JJS Contracting is Operator/Mechanic where I have a variety of responsibilities, such as operating our wide range of equipment that include bulldozers, excavators, compactors, skid steers and a variety of grading equipment. I have been fully trained to work safely and efficiently on all these machines. Furthermore, in my time at the company I have performed a wide range of service on all of the equipment and completed many heavy repairs as well. At JJS contracting we believe in following all safety rules to keep us and the community safe.

In addition to honing my knowledge of excavation, my time at JJS contracting has made me aware of many associated careers that are more specialized such as pond excavation and construction which is an extremely lucrative specialty to get into. Another specialty would be land clearing which with the right equipment can be profitable and relatively straightforward and is a highly sought after specialty almost anywhere in the country. Another associated specialty is demolition which can be profitable and even extremely fun with the right equipment. On the mechanical side of my role at the company I have become interested in the industry of mobile service technicians which I will have great interest in if I start my own company one day.

JJS Contracting greatly supports our CDDHS Co-op Program by offering exceptional learning opportunities and training to our Co-op students.
