Who we are
One contractor, from first cut to final reclamation
Top Notch is built to handle the whole job — not just a piece of it. From access roads and lease construction to water containment, site services, restoration and hauling, our crews work where the work is, in the conditions the north is known for.
We plan the job, show up prepared, and leave a site we are always proud to put our name on.

Local knowledge. Industrial discipline.
We know the ground
Two decades of work across the northeast means we understand the access, the seasons, the ground conditions and what a realistic schedule looks like.
One crew, one plan
Roads, civil, ponds, site services, restoration and hauling under one roof. Fewer handoffs, fewer gaps and one group accountable for the result.
Rooted in community
As an Indigenous-owned company, we build local capacity and create opportunity for the communities we work in.
Topcon GPS grade
GPS-tracked units with Topcon machine control help us hold grade, work efficiently and document what we built.
We strive to bridge the gap between First Nations and industry — a step forward in reconciliation. Top Notch Oilfield Contracting Ltd.
