History and Growth
Rangeland Engineering is built on relationships.
When Rangeland Engineering was founded in 2001, we had a simple philosophy—empower quality people and they will deliver quality projects.
We carry this philosophy with us today, as the leadership team drives the organization towards innovation, first class engineering and a team built of Albertans. We work hard at community engagement and keep fun and care at the forefront of our culture.
Rangeland’s success is built on hiring the best talent and delivering on our promises. Our commitment to building relationships will always be the core of our business strategy and continuing to engage repeat customers through the delivery of top quality engineering.
