Keith Chanter

Value Delivered

Keith believes that relationship building, be it employees, customers or supply partners, is the key to securing long-term business success. This, coupled with a constant focus on delivering high quality mechanical, construction, facilities, and energy services, cost effective and sustainable solutions, are his main drivers for the EMCOR Group.

Of course, safety is one of EMCOR's core values and is Keith's first priority as CEO. Our ZERO Accident Program (ZAP) instills our employees with the conviction that every accident is preventable. This is supported by a clear leadership style that accepts no compromise in safeguarding our employees and the welfare of those who come into contact with our construction and facilities services day to day.
