Cahill

What Cahill does

Cahill is a privately held Canadian industrial services firm headquartered in St. John's, with operations dating back to 1953. The company delivers mechanical, piping, electrical, and instrumentation (MPE&I) services — a scope that spans fabrication, installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance typically demanded by resource, energy, marine, and process-industry operators. With 501-1,000 employees, Cahill operates as a mid-sized specialty contractor rather than a full-service engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) prime; its offering appears concentrated in field execution and trade-level delivery rather than front-end engineering or large capital program management.
