Since joining CAP Engineering as a summer student in 2019, Abhi Patel has grown into a Lab Manager and Project Manager supporting projects across the Yukon and Northwest Territories.
His work spans materials testing, asphalt quality control, surveying, compliance, and mobile lab operations. He has also helped support improvements to testing and reporting processes, including digital field reporting and updated lab procedures aimed at improving efficiency, consistency, and safety.
One project Abhi is especially proud of is the Dempster Highway Widening & Rehabilitation project in the Northwest Territories. What began as surveying and testing responsibilities quickly evolved into coordinating with government stakeholders, supporting contractors through field challenges, and helping guide project ex*****on in remote conditions. The experience helped strengthen relationships and create new opportunities for CAP Engineering across the North.
Abhi credits the trust and support from leadership and teammates for helping him grow from a student role into leadership positions within the company. He also appreciates CAP’s collaborative and flexible culture, especially during demanding field seasons.
Outside of work, Abhi enjoys hiking, exploring the Yukon outdoors, introducing coworkers to cricket, and organizing disc golf outings and hikes that bring colleagues together outside of work.
