As Director, Design Technology and Innovation, Sean Usher has been pivotal in implementing a forward-thinking approach to Republic’s processes and operations. An expert in the field of Building Information Modelling (BIM), Sean understands our project demands are steadily moving out of 2D and will require more firms to embrace BIM specialists and technology.


Sean is a self-proclaimed tech nerd. During the pandemic, Sean took it upon himself to achieve his lifelong goal of learning how to program, something he self-taught through online tutorials. When he’s not immersed in a virtual reality, Sean and his wife love spending time outdoors. Their favourite places to explore include Banff, Canmore, and anywhere in the Whiteshell.

Not a Bird or a Plane

If he were given the choice of superpower, Sean would choose to fly, "like Superman."

A Hanson Approach

Amongst his usual songs, you would be surprised to find Hanson's 'MMMBop' on his playlist.

On Ice

Sean says hockey is one of his greatest obsessions. "'It's the TV show that never gets cancelled, it's always exciting, and there's a bit of drama here and there."
