August 7, 2019

Local engineering firm celebrates 13 years of success and marks its 6000th project―despite challenging times.

EDMONTON – As Edmonton, and all of Alberta, are faced with challenging economic times, one local company still has reason to celebrate. Arrow Engineering, founded in Edmonton by three local Edmontonians, opened their engineering consulting business 13 years ago and they have officially booked their 6000th project as of July 31, 2019.

Despite the variable market, Arrow has seen an average annual growth rate of over 23% since inception, growing to be the largest buildings engineering group in Edmonton and one of the largest in Alberta.

“Like most companies, we feel the impacts of today’s economy,” explains Paul Burdett, Senior Vice President and Co-founder. He continues “…[but] over the last 13 years we have grown as an organization and built solid relationships with clients based on service and value.”

Since 2006, in addition to a branch office in Saskatoon, Arrow has expanded to include electrical, structural, civil, and most recently, geotechnical engineering services.

CEO and President, Greg Burghardt explains, “we focus on our strengths and strive to provide our clients with optimized designs to support the success of their projects. That is how we’ve stayed successful during these challenging times.”

Burghardt has almost 30 years in the construction industry and sits on the board for both the Edmonton Construction Association (ECA) and the Consulting Engineers of Alberta (CEA) where he works to improve the construction industry for the next generation. He is passionate about growth and development in our city and across our country.

“It is my personal goal to provide a great career experience for as many great people as possible,” explains Burghardt, “having a culture that encourages the ongoing development of continuous improvement ideas makes us different and inspires positive change. We believe our people are the secret to our success, and we are proud to have consistently high engagement levels and an award-winning culture.”

Arrow Engineering is among many other grass-roots, local Edmonton companies that continue to help grow and positively shape our business community. Like many, they are optimistic for the future of Alberta and Canada.
