About Us

Levelton Consultants Ltd. was founded in 1966, when Dr. Bruce H. Levelton, P. Eng. struck out on his own as an independent consultant. It was a fairly humble start: Levelton’s first office was his dining room table and his wife Betty kept the books.

Initially, Dr. Levelton concentrated on his specialities—process chemistry and chemical engineering. Soon after, he made the decision to diversify bringing in three more engineering specialists and expanding the company’s scope to include corrosion prevention, metallurgy and construction materials testing.

We’ve grown steadily for over 40 years and now employ over 200 people in eight offices in British Columbia and Alberta. Today, our core disciplines include environmental sciences, hazardous materials management, geotechnical engineering, construction materials engineering, building science, metallurgical engineering, corrosion prevention and laboratory services.

Levelton remains an employee-owned company in which all of the principals are active employees who maintain a hands-on involvement in projects. In this way our culture maintains an environment of personal accountability to clients and client service, and ensures an appropriate commitment to quality management and senior review.

The Levelton team is proud of our history and achievements, and the diverse range of skills and experience we can offer. We have had the privilege of participation in many flagship projects in BC, Canada and abroad, including: the Sea-to-Sky Highway, the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre expansion and green energy projects such as the Mackenzie Green Energy Centre. 

Levelton is committed to providing our clients with leading edge technology and sound, practical scientific and engineering solutions. We encourage and sponsor our employees to maintain an active involvement in a wide variety of professional organizations, contributing to technical committees, development of codes and standards, preparation of technical papers and presentations, and continuing professional development.

We believe that the best value is delivered to the client by bringing the same skills to their projects that make our company a successful business.  As a company, we embrace sound project management and business practices and encourage employees to develop and improve their project delivery and business skills.

Levelton is about opportunity: for clients, it is the opportunity to bring leading edge technology and a team committed to client service to their projects; for employees it is the opportunity to participate in fun, challenging and professionally fulfilling work; for other professionals seeking employment, Levelton offers the opportunity to participate in an employee-owned company where opportunities for a fulfilling career, an attractive work-life balance and competitive financial reward abound.
