Phoenix Energy Services

What Phoenix Energy Services does

Phoenix Energy Services Inc. is a privately held, majority Indigenous-owned industrial services company headquartered in Grande Prairie, Alberta, operating through parent Phoenix Asset Holdings Inc. Founded in 2014 as an Electrical & Instrumentation contractor, the company has grown into a multi-divisional turnkey provider organized around six core service lines: Electrical & Instrumentation, Automation (anchored by the 2020 acquisition of Focal Automation), Engineering, Compression (anchored by the 2022 acquisition of Rodfather Compression), Safety Services, and Hosted SCADA, supplemented by a Total Parts Supply division. The company serves primarily oil & gas (upstream and midstream) and mining operators, with secondary exposure to power generation, manufacturing, municipal and emerging energy sectors across Western Canada, delivering services such as construction, maintenance, commissioning, modular buildings, control panel assembly, automation engineering, OT cyber security, compression maintenance and overhauls, emissions solutions, and turnkey EPC work. Named enterprise customers include Diamond LNG, Kelt Exploration, Keyera, Pembina, Pure Life and Inception. Phoenix Energy employs approximately 400 people across eight offices in Alberta (Grande Prairie, Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Edson, Hinton) and British Columbia (Fort St. John), and is certified by the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business as a majority Indigenous-owned enterprise.

The proprietary technology layer centers on Phoenix SCADA, a web-based hosted SCADA platform with real-time monitoring, alarm notifications, custom reporting, MQTT integration and OPC-UA compatibility for Industry 4.0 interoperability, supported by in-house full-stack development across multiple programming languages and both relational and time-series databases. The Automation division adds IT/OT cyber security services aligned with ISA 62443, NIST CSF and CSC 18 frameworks. Rodfather Compression holds authorized Canadian distribution rights for Atlas Copco StraightFlo compressor valves, which are positioned as delivering up to 15% emissions reduction and up to 15% lower power consumption.

Phoenix operates an enterprise field sales go-to-market targeting industrial clients through a Business Development team and Directors of Business Development, Technical Services and Manufacturing, supported by 24/7 field service availability. Revenue is generated through project-based contracts and multi-year service agreements across all divisions, supplemented by parts sales through Total Parts Supply and equipment rentals. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no publicly disclosed tiers. The company has grown primarily through a programmatic acquisition strategy (Focal Automation in 2020, the Engineering division in 2021, Rodfather Compression in November 2022, Torque Tech Mechanical in 2024) combined with organic office expansion, and is led by co-founders Chris Callihoo (President) and Mike Byers (Senior Vice President) with a 14-person leadership team.
