The company

A different kind of engineering partner

We're a design-forward engineering practice focused on clarity, safety, and operational certainty — translating complex constraints into layouts that protect people and keep facilities running.

STA 05+00 — THE COMPANY
Why we exist

Engineering as a strategic advantage — not a line item

Most consulting models reward hours billed. Ours rewards risk reduced. We work best with clients who care about doing things properly and who see engineering as leverage on the whole project — schedule, capital, and operations — not a commodity deliverable.

That's why we lead with project leadership: validate the site and location, map the regulatory pathway, and rank the risks that can actually kill the project — before anyone falls in love with a technical solution. Then we engineer it to match. Sequencing and engineering excellence are equal pillars here — disciplined risk order only creates value when the design that follows is genuinely first-rate.

STA 05+05 — OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Principle 01

Clarity before commitment

Clear scopes, honest feasibility, and risk ranked by consequence — so capital decisions are made with eyes open.

Principle 02

Constructability is design

A drawing that can't be built on schedule isn't finished. We detail for the field, the staging, and the tie-ins.

Principle 03

Senior and direct

You work with the engineers making the decisions — small, agile, and accountable from concept to commissioning.

STA 05+10 — THE TEAM
Leadership

Senior engineers, direct access

No account layers, no handoffs — the people below are the people on your project.

Conrad Behrman, CEO and VP Projects

Conrad Behrman, P.Eng

CEO / VP Projects

Conrad is a mechanical engineer (Queen's University, P.Eng) who founded Behrman Engineering to bring agile, multidisciplinary delivery to rail terminals and bulk-handling facilities. Across more than a decade in the industry, he has carried projects from concept through commissioning — engineering, regulatory support, procurement, and construction management under one roof — including a 16-track industrial railyard with 20,000 m³ of bulk storage for clients such as Transand, Grain Millers, and Viterra.

He trained in rail engineering at Tri Innovations, then opened and led AMECO Group's Kuala Lumpur office as Managing Director, running projects and EPC partnerships across 24 countries in the APAC region. That blend of technical depth and commercial judgment — sharpened by finance training through the CFA program — is what he brings to every client engagement.

Lorant Marton, VP Engineering

Lorant Marton, P.Eng

VP Engineering

Lorant is a civil engineer (P.Eng, APEGA) with 18+ years specializing in earthworks engineering, grading design, and stormwater for rail, energy, and oil sands developments. He delivers — and stamps — complex packages from concept through IFC across SAGD facilities, mining operations, and rail terminals, including Wolf Midstream's Sturgeon rail terminal, the Vista Mine track extension, and MEG Energy's Christina Lake program.

He started in the field as a soils technologist and survey lead, learning the industry from the ground up before earning his civil engineering degree at Lakehead University. With 12+ years in Autodesk Civil 3D, that field-first foundation keeps a tight connection between his design models and what actually gets built.

Roland Wiebe, VP Design

Roland Wiebe

VP Design

Roland is a senior designer and civil discipline lead with 25+ years across rail, oil and gas, oilsands, mining, transportation, and refining. He has served as the technical authority on civil and rail infrastructure for major facilities — among them Transand's rail yards, Wolf Midstream and Valero rail terminals, NorthWest Redwater's Sturgeon Refinery, and Suncor's $2.1B Meadow Creek development.

His work spans complex 3D modeling, LIDAR and survey-data management, and the standards and templates that keep large design teams aligned. From 30 km of loop track to 1.9 million m³ of earthworks, Roland turns demanding scopes into buildable, coordinated designs.
