What Advanced Millwright Services does

Advanced Millwright Services Ltd. (AMS) is a privately held Canadian construction and maintenance services company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Vanderhoof, British Columbia. The company provides precision millwright construction, project management, crane services, and industrial maintenance to enterprise clients across British Columbia and Alberta, with a particular focus on forestry (Canfor, Conifex, West Fraser, Western Forest Products, Sinclar Group, Nechako Group), mining (Mount Milligan, Endako Mine, Gibraltar Mine), manufacturing (Momentive Chemicals, Evergreen Solutions), and energy/utilities (Veolia, Iberdrola Energy). Core service lines include general contracting, turnkey construction, equipment installation and removal, mobile and CWB-certified structural welding, precision alignment via Rotalign Ultra calibrated instruments, carpentry and concrete work, mobile crane services using a 35-ton Manitex boom truck, and shutdown/maintenance coverage across all trades. Operational transparency is provided through the Traqspera asset and time management platform, which gives customers online visibility into crew equipment and task status.

AMS operates a parallel safety services sub-brand, AMS Safety Services, which offers safety training (forklift, fall protection, confined space, WHMIS), drug and alcohol screening, and rental of multi-gas detectors and calibration machines on a publicly disclosed per-unit pricing basis. The company has pursued growth through two 2019 joint ventures: Giga'at AMS Industrial Services Ltd (with Gitga'at Development Corporation for Northwest BC) and Premier AMS Fire Protection (with Premier Fire Protection for interior BC fire protection services). It maintains COR Certification at the highest level since 2014, CWB certification since 2009, and active Browz, Avetta, and Complyworks compliance credentials — gate-keeping certifications that materially support access to large enterprise industrial contracts.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services (general contracting, specialty trades, and safety services) with a smaller hardware/rental stream (crane and equipment rental). The go-to-market is direct B2B outreach via the company website, phone, and email, with engagement handled personally by founder-owners Tim Johnson (President) and Curtis Loewen (Project Manager). The company is independently owned by its founders, has no external institutional investors or parent company, and operates with no public revenue disclosure.
