Six Client Renewals Anchor Bird's $1.1 Billion Awards
The awards include renewals and expanded service offerings with six existing clients under multiyear agreements ranging up to five years. Those agreements cover mechanical and electrical maintenance, turnaround and outage services at major industrial and energy facilities in Canada. Bird also won a significant electrical services scope for a large-scale healthcare redevelopment project in Alberta. Several new contracts went to Jacob Bros Construction for public infrastructure projects in British Columbia, including civil infrastructure enabling works, water treatment, waste and recycling, and long-term care developments. Industrial construction awards cover a new structure supporting Ontario's nuclear sector, a wind energy project in Eastern Canada and a district energy facility in Western Canada.
"These awards reflect the resilience of Bird's business, supported by a distributed load of work across markets, customers, and geographies," said Teri McKibbon, President and CEO of Bird. "The continued growth of our Industrial Maintenance portfolio adds recurring revenue and greater visibility to our work program, while reinforcing the value of our integrated service offering and long-term client relationships."

According to akta.pro company records, Bird reported a record contracted backlog of $5.4 billion at Q1 2026, 23.8% higher than a year earlier, with combined contracted and pending backlog exceeding $11 billion. The same records show full-year 2025 construction revenue of $3,396.8 million, comparable to 2024's $3,397.3 million.
