Cheyanne Hammell2026 Finalist

Operations Manager at PCL

PCL

Cheyanne Hammell has become one of PCL’s go-to fixers when the job is complicated, time-sensitive, and has zero room for error. She’s known for taking “special projects” — the ones with tough constraints and lots of stakeholders — and turning them into clean wins that keep teams moving and clients calm. A standout example is Lakeridge Gardens, Ontario’s first accelerated-build long-term care project. The schedule was aggressive and the expectations were high, but the team delivered it in just 13 months. It’s the kind of result that doesn’t happen without tight coordination, quick decision-making, and someone who can keep everyone aligned when the pressure spikes. What sets Cheyanne apart is the combo of technical depth and people-first communication. She can get into the weeds to solve real construction problems, then zoom out and read the room — what the client needs, where the friction is, and how to keep partners pulling in the same direction.
