When Carlee Beniuk founded TestTech Occupational Testing Solutions Inc. in 2017, she was setting a new standard for workplace safety across Alberta.
“Carlee is an exceptional entrepreneur whose vision, leadership and perseverance have fuelled the growth and success of TestTech,” says nominator Marilyne Aalhus. “She’s built it from the ground up into a trusted partner for businesses and organizations that prioritize workplace safety and employee well-being.”
As 100-per cent owner and operator, Beniuk wears many hats, from strategist to client advocate.
“The best part of my role is exceeding client expectations,” she says.
“When I get a tricky request or potential contract, I love turning it into a positive experience that blows their expectations out of the water.”
Beniuk’s company provides essential occupational testing services, including drug and alcohol screening and health assessments, expanding steadily while maintaining a reputation for professionalism and care.
Beyond business, Beniuk invests deeply in her community by volunteering with Skate Alberta, mentoring young athletes, supporting families in need, and performing acts of kindness big and small.
“Giving back makes my heart feel good,” she says.
Through grit, vision and kindness, Beniuk is shaping a thriving business and leaving a lasting impact on Airdrie.
