Most entrepreneurs chase trends.
Jasen Robalo built his career in an industry most people overlook — and stayed there for 27 years.
Today, as CEO of Edmonton-based Fenceline Rentals Ltd, he leads a multi-million dollar essential services company providing temporary fencing and portable sanitation — the kind of infrastructure every construction site depends on, but few people ever think about.
It’s not flashy work.
But it’s foundational.
Temporary fencing and portable sanitation might not trend online, but they sit at the base of nearly every major development. Construction projects, industrial facilities, and event sites all rely on controlled access, safety, and organized site logistics.
This business is operational at its core — equipment, crews, scheduling, coordination. Success doesn’t come from marketing gimmicks; it comes from showing up, delivering on time, and solving problems fast.
Over 27 years, consistency has been Robalo’s edge.
Leading the same company for nearly three decades means navigating economic shifts, construction booms, slowdowns, regulatory changes, and workforce challenges.
Longevity in blue-collar industries isn’t built on visibility. It’s built on relationships, reputation, and trust — the kind contractors and developers rely on when projects involve serious timelines and financial stakes.
Companies like Fenceline Rentals don’t grow because of viral moments. They grow because clients know the job will be handled properly.
Robalo’s role extends beyond daily operations. He also serves as a Director with LAB — Leadership Accountability Board, a peer advisory organization focused on leadership growth and accountability.
That involvement reflects a shift many long-term operators make over time: pairing hands-on industry experience with structured leadership development. As teams grow and businesses scale, leadership becomes just as important as logistics.
Entrepreneurship is often associated with startups and creators, but businesses like Fenceline Rentals represent another side of the economy — asset-heavy, team-driven operations that support the physical world.
Success here is measured differently.
