Englobe Corporation, a leading engineering and environmental services firm with a well-established presence across Canada, has announced the acquisition of Higher Ground Consulting Inc., an Alberta-based consulting firm specializing in environmental engineering, ecology, water resources, dam engineering, civil earthworks, geotechnical and rail projects. Following the successful closure of the transaction, all 65 talented employees and leaders from Higher Ground will join the Englobe team.
This is a major milestone for both companies as we unite to bring even greater value to our clients and stakeholders.
Founded in 2013, Higher Ground has a reputation for delivering outstanding services to clients across the western provinces. Their team of professionals and engineering experts complements Englobe’s existing expertise, and Higher Ground’s established relationships with private sector clients, especially within the water, natural resources, and renewables space, further enhances Englobe’s reach and reputation within these key markets.
“We’re very excited to welcome Higher Ground’s incredibly talented team to our family, and for the opportunities that this partnership presents for us to expand our joint market presence in western Canada, and beyond,” said Mike Cormier, President of Englobe Corp. “With such close alignment from our approach to business management and our core values, we’re confident that the addition of Higher Ground will help us make an even greater impact for our clients and communities.”
Higher Ground will now operate as a separate division within Englobe. Their organizational structure will remain intact under the leadership of current president.
“With Englobe, we are well supported to continue growing – building on our existing expertise and adding new services – to better serve our clients,” said Wesley Ferris, President of Higher Ground. “Given the similarities between our respective values, standards, and goals that focus on genuine care for our people and clients, this feels like a natural fit for us.”
Englobe remains committed to building on 60+ years of experience in Canada with this exciting acquisition contributing to continued growth and ongoing support for Canadian projects. The company currently employs over 3,000 professionals, technicians and technical support staff. The company offers a broad suite of services from engineering, design and inspection to environmental consulting and remediation. It completes over 25,000 projects annually for public and private sector clients. In July 2024, Englobe joined Colliers, a global diversified professional services and investment management company.
