As part of our ongoing effort to highlight the people who bring our projects to life, we sat down with Cale McComb, one of Bockstael’s experienced superintendents and Director of Field Operations, to share what it truly means to lead a construction project from the ground up. Filmed at Bockstael’s yard, this video explores the dedication, decision-making, and teamwork required to keep complex builds running smoothly.
Cale’s story captures the balance of challenge and reward that defines the superintendent’s role: managing the unexpected, guiding teams of diverse professionals, and ensuring every detail aligns with Bockstael’s standards of quality and safety. The conversation gives viewers a look into the leadership and perseverance that power our projects, and the pride that comes from seeing a vision become a reality.
On Set: Capturing Authentic Leadership
The filming took place right at Bockstael’s own yard — the perfect setting to showcase the environment where our leaders work and mentor teams every day. With Cale reflecting on his experience, the video team captured not only the physical side of construction but also the human side of leadership — resilience, collaboration, and commitment to doing things the right way.
This authentic setting allowed us to show the energy and precision that define Bockstael’s culture. Every frame emphasizes our focus on quality construction, safety, and respect for the craft — values that superintendents like Cale McComb embody across all projects, from foundations to final handover.
Beyond the Video
This initiative resulted in more than just one feature film. Alongside the full YouTube video, we produced a series of shorter clips for social media, highlighting key themes like perseverance, problem-solving, and the importance of teamwork. These pieces will continue to inspire both our team and the wider construction community, reinforcing what it means to build with purpose.
The “Superintendent Story” project is part of Bockstael’s ongoing commitment to showcasing the people behind our builds — individuals like Cale McComb, who uphold our legacy of excellence while continuing to shape the future of construction in Manitoba.
