As a mechanical engineer, Brian procures most of the larger and complex storage and process vessels on the various Rangeland projects. He excels in fully defining scope and understands what works. Brian is involved in the early stages defining the scope of the longest lead items months before the project is fully defined. He has an in depth understanding of the process equipment design and fabrication sector in Western Canada. Brian works closely with the other disciplines to ensure timely delivery of equipment for our clients.
