About Us

Andrew Beaton

General Manager - Operations

Certified Engineering Technologist (CET)

Andrew graduated from Lethbridge College with an engineering design diploma, which he put to excellent use when he joined the Precon team in 2008. He moved up the company ladder and is currently our General Manager. Andrew was awarded The Association of Science & Engineering Technology Professionals of Alberta (ASET) 2020 President's Award for Excellence in Mentoring, which was no surprise to us because Andrew loves working with people. Andrew is appreciative of his diverse group of colleagues that bring many different skill sets to the team and make coming to work every day a treat. When Andrew isn’t helping out his fellow colleagues, you can find him fly fishing the trout streams in southern Alberta and into northwest Montana.

Lauren Gallimore

General Manager - Finance

Bachelor of Management in Accounting from the University of Lethbridge (with Great Distinction)

Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA)

Prior to joining Precon, Lauren articled for her CPA designation at KPMG - providing tax and audit services to corporate, personal, and not-for-profit clients. Lauren’s skills for reviewing operational and financial data to evaluate Precon’s performance not only helps us, but also sets our clients up for success. When she’s not evaluating and problem-solving for our clients there's a good chance she’s planning her next trip to the mountains or taking her puppy for a walk.

Cody Kibala

General Manager - Customers

C.E.T., BSc

Cody has been with the Precon team since 2010 and he’s been involved in some of our biggest projects. Most of which are underground, but a few you have probably seen. Cody worked with the team to supply bridge-plates and mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining walls for the animal overpasses between Banff and Lake Louise. He also worked to supply binwall bridge abutments and rough-cut lumber facia to the Canmore Nordic Centre. Cody’s always willing to help out our consultant or contractor partners with excellent service and problem solving. He’ll do whatever it takes - even if that means adding complexity to Precon’s scope, he’s always up for a challenge.
