About Us

Based in Calgary

Rick Jacobsen and Ron Grover co-founded Cornerstone Engineering in January of 2008. Prior to that, they each had 15+ years of experience working for oil and gas producers and engineering companies. Their experience has granted them a first-hand understanding of the priorities of oil and gas companies when undertaking a project. This insight has shaped Cornerstone’s focus on excellent communication and customer service throughout each project’s execution.

Cornerstone has now grown to become a team of over 185 people with our main office located in the NE, and one in Downtown Calgary. We have complete mechanical, civil, electrical, automation, process, and drafting design services for all sizes of oil and gas projects.
