Culture
Help us brighten lives!
Our passionate team of professionals embodies Williams Engineering’s values, while pursuing safe, inclusive, resilient and sustainable cities.
What Drives Us
After decades of operation, we did a deep dive into our core purpose:
How do we change lives with what we do?
Why are we different?
What is our impact?
Through this journey, we realized that our team members’ collective energy, care and attention isn’t solely focused on designing a building. Instead, our focus is on every person who walks into a library, condominium, school or hospital and how these structures impact their lives both today and in the future. For us, this work is about who uses these spaces and how, creating buildings that serve our communities, not the other way around! We provide the people we serve with inclusive spaces designed to foster positivity.
Our experts focus on staying up to date with the latest technology and trends in each of our disciplines. Delivering inspired solutions and exceptional results occurs by taking responsibility for the success of our client’s projects and creating communication that supports that success. Our greatest resource is our people, and we believe investing in our team members’ growth, development, and technical training ensures our mutual success.
Why Join Us
We are a passionate group of changemakers. We thrive on challenging work which inspires us to do our best each and every day. Our culture supports that through training and development, office social events, reward and recognition programs, open communication, and a strong belief in bringing joy to our work! Each of us is celebrated on our birthdays and when we reach service milestones with a special gift. Our teams have a mix of long-tenured, highly skilled team members along with new and learning employees. Many of our teammates have moved through the organization and upskilled into management or specialized roles. We believe in promoting and developing our talent from within!
What We Offer
We believe that a diverse team leads to diverse thoughts and better work. We recognize that our team does much more than engineer solutions and solve our client’s challenges; they can impact the communities where they live and work while developing and growing relationships with community leaders. To positively impact our communities, we must start by positively impacting our own team. As a result, it means providing fair compensation, training, advancement opportunities and an open and honest team environment.

We offer a flexible work environment to support our team members’ full, unique lives.

Alexandra Adolph, P.Eng.
As an Engineer in Training with a little bit of experience I joined A.D. Williams Engineering in 2004. I was immediately exposed to a variety of different types of projects from investigations and renovations to new construction and new and interesting work in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and the Yukon. Gaining more experience and taking on more responsibility I worked as a structural engineer and project manager through the transition to Williams Engineering Canada until 2014.
At this time, with two young children I felt that working for myself would allow me greater flexibility in my personal life and would help me gain some different experience in the industry. However, as my children got older and working through the challenges of being a business owner, I felt that having a team of multi-discipline professionals and supporting staff was more appealing to me and the way I like to collaborate with others. I re-joined Wiliams Engineering in 2020 as Structural Engineering Manager for the Calgary structural team. Since then, I have become engineering manager for both the Calgary and Edmonton structural teams and manage larger scale projects within the company.
I am a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan and hold professional registrations in Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan and The Northwest Territories/Nunavut. I believe the ingrained nature of my Saskatchewan entrepreneurial spirit has enabled me to take on many different roles simultaneously. I thoroughly enjoy the varied challenges, flexibility and opportunities at Williams Engineering and the ability to have a significant amount of input into my own personal career path.
