Scouten Engineering

What Scouten Engineering does

Scouten Engineering (legal name: Scouten & Associates Engineering Ltd) is a privately held Canadian consulting civil and structural engineering firm founded in 1995 and headquartered at #202-1300 1st Avenue, Prince George, British Columbia, with a second office opened in 2022 in Genelle, BC. The firm operates across approximately seven jurisdictions — British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut — delivering design, planning, and construction-phase engineering services to municipal governments, industrial resource-sector operators (mining, pulp, saw mills, energy), commercial developers, and insurance/legal clients.

The firm's core service portfolio is organized into three lines: Structural Engineering (industrial structures, bridges, grade separation structures, cable barrier systems, commercial/industrial/retail buildings, advanced composite materials repairs, seismic restraint systems), Civil Engineering (highway and resource road design and construction supervision, municipal/industrial utility connections, industrial subdivision design, industrial and commercial site development), and supporting services (planning and feasibility, project management and costing, monitoring, structural assessments, and forensic investigations). Technical differentiators include carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite rehabilitation work, Engineer-of-Record roles for high-tension cable barrier systems, and certification of seismic restraint systems for HVAC and electrical equipment in northern BC and Alberta. The firm uses CAD-based 3D representation for client visualization prior to design approval.

The business is project-based consulting fees for professional services, with direct client relationships, design-build team participation, and sub-consultant engagements to prime consultants. The firm is owned by three principals (Ben Crimp, Craig Hadley, Kyle Nelson) following a March 2020 management buyout from founder Dave Scouten, who remains as Technical Advisor. A team of roughly 20 engineers, technologists, EITs, and support staff serves the practice, with revenue and pricing not publicly disclosed. Certifications include the Organizational Quality Management designation from APEGBC alongside memberships in BC Safe Companies, ISNetworld, ComplyWorks, and Browz.
