We started out as a small consultancy partnership in Calgary in 1979, working out of a two-bedroom flat. Our founders shared a vision to provide the finest engineering services delivered with highly customized, hands-on client service. Offering the depth of larger firms while remaining intentionally nimble and flexible.
Along the way we grew, evolved, expanded our services, and even changed our name a few times. But we’ve never wavered from our core purpose. It’s always been worth staying true to our values.
Today, from offices in Vancouver, Calgary and Kelowna, our dedicated team delivers dynamic performance and intelligent design across the entire suite of engineering services to an incredibly diverse client base.
We believe our work is helping to move the world forward, one idea, one design, one solution at a time.
We are proudly 100% Canadian-owned.
“Your integrity and your word are the most important things in this business.”

Our Team
We’re proud to be a preferred place of employment for some of the best and brightest professionals in the industry. We have built our reputation by developing a team that combines technical expertise with personal integrity – where talent meets character.
Our diverse partnership group is actively involved in the day-to-day business operations while a management group of four helps guide the vision and direction of the company. Combined, we bring unparalleled skill, passion, and experience to every task large or small.
Our DNA
We build meaningful, collaborative, and long-term partnerships -
We do this by building teams that can scale with clients, being honest and proactive communicators, and implementing our one-team approach that creates efficiency and value for our clients
We are agile -
We can move and shift quickly based on project needs. We aren’t stuck in a bureaucracy or hierarchy that gets in the way of results. Our dynamic team and company culture means we can adapt, flex, and jump on opportunities to meet objectives and solve complex challenges — we don’t let things pass us by
We are results focused -
When project goals and KPIs are set, we work hard to meet them. We build fit-for-purpose solutions that deliver for our clients by taking a 360-degree approach that considers the end result right from the start. We bring new ideas and solutions to the table to find opportunities for cost or schedule savings. And we deliver what we say we will, every time.
Our Lauren Foundations
Our livelihood depends on the new relationships we create and the existing ones we nurture. Whether it’s our partners or the people we hire, we want to build lasting connections, strong collaboration and rewarding experiences.
INTEGRITY - Integrity is everything. It means trust, transparency, honesty and respect: for ourselves and others, inside and outside the organization. At Lauren, integrity means making the right choice, not just the easy one.
ADAPTABLE - We choose to thrive, not just survive. Adaptability makes all the difference in an industry as fast-paced and dynamic as ours. We’re built to overcome challenges and solve any problems we face. We stay one step ahead of the pack. Flexibility is our superpower: in our thinking, our attitude, and our response. Where others see obstacles, we see an opportunity to prove what we’re made of.
ACCOUNTABLE - The buck stops here. Always here. Accountability isn’t about what’s in your job title; it’s about taking ownership. We understand and accept our responsibility to our internal and external stakeholders. To the industry we represent, and to our colleagues. We are reliable, we are dependable, and we speak up when we see something that can be improved — our word matters.
COLLABORATIVE - We foster a mindset of shared success. We’re at our best when we work together as a team and harness the collective strengths and talents of each other, the diversity of experiences and backgrounds, opinions and ideas. Everyone has the opportunity to contribute, to inspire, and to help one another develop and grow. We listen more, and we assume less. We’re available, and we’re ready.
QUALITY - Ready, willing and able to do our jobs to the best of our ability. We know what our role is, and we do it right. We strive for the best result, every time. Our work style is organized and thorough while leaving room to manage the unexpected in this fast-paced work environment. We meet the highest standards by emphasizing attention to detail, continuous improvement, and pride in achievement.
