We are pleased to announce that for the second year running, Arrow has landed on the ZweigWhite ‘Hot Firms List’. Coming in at 54^th place, Arrow is ranked amongst the most rapidly-growing A/E firms in North America. The Hot 100 recognizes firms with the highest percentage growth over a three year period, compared to some 100,000 other eligible firms.

Arrow has grown significantly in the past five years; in fact, our growth has averaged at 36% per year since inception, and shows no significant signs of slowing down. Since Arrow was last listed on the Hot Firms List in the summer of 2014, we’ve added a thriving Structural Division and formally opened our office in Calgary. “We are fortunate to have a team who is dedicated to the success of Arrow and of our clients”, says Greg Burghardt, President and CEO of Arrow, “because of their dedication, we are able to pursue new opportunities for growth while serving our large existing client base with the superior level of care Arrow has become known for”.

Since 2006 Arrow Engineering has endeavored to deliver excellence in buildings engineering throughout Western Canada, and the North. With over 85 employees, and diverse experience in thousands of projects, Arrow has emerged as a top-tier provider of Straight Forward Solutions through the provision of Mechanical, Electrical, Structural and Civil Engineering services. We deliver our services with pride, integrity, and perseverance from our headquarters in Edmonton, and our branch offices in Calgary and Saskatoon.

The ZweigWhite Hot Firm List recognizes the 100 fastest-growing architecture, engineering, planning and environmental consulting firms in the United States and Canada. These are the firms that have outperformed the economy and competitors to become leaders in their respective and fields of choice. Rankings are based on a survey of industry firms conducted by ZweigWhite, the publisher of The Zweig Letter, and the nation’s leader in enhancing business performance for architecture, engineering, and environmental consulting firms.

We are thrilled to announce that Arrow Engineering has been awarded 17^th place on the ZweigWhite Best Firms to Work For list. Chosen from thousands of applicants across North America, this list is comprised of a prestigious group of firms who work to create environments where teams “…preform at the highest levels … where their people feel valued, can make a difference, and can clearly see their contribution to the overall mission and success of the firm.”

This award is especially meaningful for the Arrow team, as we place significant value in our culture. Our meaningful turnover rate has averaged at just 3.5% per year since inception, as compared to an industry average of 12%; this is evidence of a stable, happy and productive team. Arrow President & CEO Greg Burghardt explains that “when we started Arrow, we wanted to create a place where productivity and fun could coexist. Now, almost ten years later, I’m proud to have a group of wonderful people who are passionate about their work and about the collective success of our team. They are what make Arrow a great place to work, and without them, we would never have felt the level of success we’ve enjoyed.”

The ZweigWhite Best Firms to Work For list is evaluated on a variety of metrics, including firm culture, workplace practices, employee benefits, employee retention rates, professional development, and more – both from the management and staff’s perspectives.

We’re proud to announce that Krysten Ernst, one of Arrow Saskatoon’s Electrical Project Managers, has been named as President of Saskatchewan’s section of the ‘Illuminating Engineering Society’ (IES). During her two-year team, Krysten will act as chair for Section meetings, and will play a key role in managing events which serve to provide educational resources to further the professional development of local members of IES.

IES is recognized as a ‘technical authority on illumination’ and acts as a resource for lighting professionals. A nationally recognized society, IES facilitates research, investigations and subsequent publications which serve as educational materials for many lighting professionals. We’re proud to have team members who contribute significantly to the development of their professional fields, and applaud Krysten on this impressive achievement.

It feels like just yesterday that we celebrated the holiday season, yet suddenly, here we are again. As we reflect on the past year, and enjoy time spent with friends and family, we are keenly aware of how very fortunate we are. At Arrow, we believe we are all a part of something bigger than ourselves; it is in this spirit that we continuously strive to give back to our communities, and to those in need.

Over the past year, we’ve been privileged to give back in a variety of ways to numerous charitable organizations, and causes which are near to the hearts of our team members, families, and friends. These contributions have taken the form of donations in-kind, monetary donations, the gift of time and other initiatives

In lieu of gifts, we traditionally donate to select organizations whom we feel contribute meaningfully to our communities, and to individuals in need. This year, we’re proud to announce that we’ve committed substantial in-kind donations to Wellspring Edmonton, and to the Edmonton Opera, along with monetary contributions to Little Warriors, Habitat for Humanity, ALS Canada, and upwards of 40 additional organizations and causes.

The Christmas spirit is alive and well within our offices. In keeping with one of our favorite holiday traditions, our Edmonton team recently gathered to participate in a gift exchange and donation to Santa’s Anonymous, giving the joy of Christmas to families and children in need. Our Calgary office has elected to contribute to two local charities, the Boys and Girls Club of Calgary, benefiting at-risk youth, and Inn From the Cold, a local family shelter. Our team in Saskatoon has chosen to donate funds to the Saskatoon Food Bank, in order to feed those in need, throughout the year.

The leadership team at Arrow recognizes that our success is dependent on the contributions of our valued team members, colleagues and clients. We’re truly humbled by the loyalty of those who support our team, and by the contributions of our dedicated team members.

We offer you our most sincere thanks, and wish you and your loved ones peace, joy and prosperity this holiday season, and in the year to come. Merry Christmas!

Arrow Joins the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Though we normally shy away from bandwagons, we were ready to jump on board the ‘ALS Ice Bucket Challenge’ when Arrow President, Greg Burghardt, and VP Operations, Paul Burdett, were nominated. Arrow Employees rallied together to raise funds, under the condition that with a minimum of $1,000 raised, Greg and Paul would not only match donations, but let the Arrow team subject them to a group dousing. Not surprisingly, funds were raised in short order.

In total, Arrow Employees raised $1,250; combined with the contributions of Greg and Paul, $2, 500 has been submitted to ALS Canada on behalf of the Arrow team.

At Arrow, we believe it is our responsibility to give back to the communities in which we live, work, and play. As always, we encourage our industry colleagues to join in supporting important causes, like ALS Research.
