Holly Tennant, Communications Coordinator + Customer Relations Rep.

Holly’s background and education consists of the arts, culture, and communications. She was an active student at White Pines who volunteered her time as lead in the yearbook committee and student council. Holly completed her co-op placement with the Sault Ste Marie Innovation Centre and was part of the organizing committee for the 2014 Energy Opportunities Conference. She graduated with a Specialist High Skills Major in Arts and Culture.

She continued her education by enrolling in Sault College’s Graphic Design Program where she won the First Year Merit Award and had the opportunity to work with Cavera Inc, a local marketing and branding company here in the Sault. She continued to do smaller design work on the side while working customer service for several years.

After 4 months of the first lockdown due to COVID-19, Holly started searching elsewhere for work. With connections to SalDan employee’s, a new opportunity made its way to her.

“Although I knew a handful of employees who worked for SalDan, I never considered working with the company before.” She admitted that it was intimidating at first. She started her career in the Media end of things, taking care of SalDan’s website, social media platforms, running errands, etc. 

As she progressed, she started to become more involved in the development side and working with new homeowners in their house selections and warranty. “It made me realize how many moving pieces there are that make this company work. The attention to detail and communication is very important for the builds to progress smoothly. To be a part of the SalDan’s home developments can be nerve racking at times, but over all very fulfilling.”

Holly is now the Communications Coordinator and Customer Relations Representative at SalDan Construction Group. She works closely with the site supervisors and site manager to ensure that they are provided with homeowner’s selections and requests. She continues to work with homeowners after the closing of their homes through Tarion’s New Home Warranty. 

“I have learned a lot about the process of building a home such as the permit applications, locates, materials, and phases within construction”.

Even though she may not be physically building the homes, she communicates important information that supports those out on the sites. She continues to learn new things every day and is grateful for her co-worker’s and employer’s support.
