With decades of multimedia writing, editing and storytelling experience, Sean Tarry steps into the role of Editor of On-Site magazine and is poised to strengthen its voice for Canadian contractors and industry professionals.
It was recently announced that Sean Tarry has been appointed the new Editor of On‑Site Magazine – a move that promises to deepen the publication’s editorial strength and bolster its connection to the Canadian construction community. Tarry, who leaves his editorial duties as Editor of Design Engineering magazine, brings a wealth of experience from across media and industrial journalism, with a track record of producing insightful, high-quality content for print and digital audiences.
Roles and experience
In his previous roles, Tarry has served as Editor of a number of different publications covering a range of industries, including Epilogue (performing arts), Canadian Retailer (retail), Retail Insider (retail), BioLab Business (biomanufacturing and life science), Canadian Food Business (food and beverage science), Spa Inc. (spa and hospitality) and Design Engineering (manufacturing engineering). In addition, his experience working in daily newspaper newsrooms, for industry associations and as a freelance professional have allowed him to establish a well-rounded perspective on storytelling, technical content and audience engagement. And his capacity to move fluidly from conceptual ideation to publication has earned him a reputation for delivering content that resonates with readers and supports industry stakeholders.
A dedicated voice for Canadian construction
Under Tarry’s leadership, On-Site magazine is expected to build on its commitment to serving contractors and suppliers across Canada, delivering unmatched coverage of the issues most significantly impacting the construction industry, from heavy equipment and concrete technology to project management and industry trends.
Sean Tarry – Editor of On-Site magazine.
Editorial philosophy
Tarry’s editorial philosophy emphasizes clarity, relevance and storytelling that brings technical and business issues to life. Drawing on his background in creative journalism and industry writing, he aims to balance complex content with stories that highlight the human side of construction: the individuals, the crews and the communities behind the building of Canada’s infrastructure.
What this means for readers
For subscribers and readers of On-Site magazine, Tarry’s appointment signals continuity, but also renewal. Expect to see:
- Strong coverage of equipment innovations, materials developments and technology trends driving the construction industry.
- Deep editorial insight into the challenges and opportunities facing Canadian contractors, from labour shortages to sustainability pressures.
- Commentary and analysis grounded in real-world experience, communications fluency and editorial integrity.
As the construction landscape evolves – with larger-scale infrastructure builds, shifting regulatory standards and increased demand for digital and sustainable solutions – Tarry’s understanding of both the technical and human dimensions of the sector position him well to ensure On-Site remains a leading resource for Canada’s construction professionals, and to develop stories, analysis and industry insight concerning the trends and impacts that will shape future editions of the magazine and the next chapter of Canadian construction.
