About

Practical Engineering Expertise Across Western Canada

At Tower Engineering, we bring clarity and confidence to complex projects — connecting people, systems, and ideas to deliver practical solutions that stand the test of time.

Founded in Winnipeg in 1997, we’ve grown into a mid-sized multidisciplinary firm with offices in Calgary and Kelowna. From our Prairie roots, we’ve built a reputation across Western Canada for being responsive, approachable, and deeply committed to client outcomes.

We provide mechanical, electrical, and structural engineering across healthcare, housing, industrial, commercial, and civic sectors, with building science expertise supporting energy efficiency and performance. Our work is grounded in smart, solutions-based design: practical, coordinated, and delivered with the technical skill required to ensure quality and long-term value.

With in-house constructability experts, we help identify risks and opportunities early — supporting more accurate budgeting, scheduling, and decision-making. This proactive approach streamlines delivery and helps avoid costly surprises.

Whether it’s phased construction, specialized systems integration, or fast-track delivery, our teams collaborate across offices and disciplines to reduce complexity and keep projects on track. With engineers licensed across Ontario, the Prairies, BC, and the North — and active memberships in ACEC, ASHRAE, IEEE, and LEED — clients can trust us to deliver not only what’s needed, but what’s next.
