Careers
Senior Accountant
Company Overview
For the past 70+ years, Horizon Legacy Group has been creating large-scale infrastructure projects. Over the past 15years, we’ve expanded into renewable energy development, delivering wind, water, and solar power projects across Canada and the United States.
Now Horizon Legacy is embarking on a new adventure. In an industry that has made relatively little progress in advancing the use of technology, Horizon Legacy is taking a different approach. We have launched into construction automation, developing new automation tools and robotic systems to create one-of-a-kind residential structures. We believe technology has the power to transform construction, increase labour productivity and address the housing crisis.
