The Norwest Advantage

Redefining the Standard in Consulting Engineering
Responsive. Reliable. Results-Driven.

More Than Engineers — Partners in Your Success

At Norwest Engineering, what sets us apart is our commitment to hands-on involvement and unwavering dedication to client success. We are an engineering firm with “boots on the ground from the top down” — meaning our senior leadership isn’t just managing from afar; they are technical experts and project managers who are actively engaged in projects. This approach ensures we maintain a high level of responsiveness, delivering clear communication and informed, practical solutions to keep projects moving forward.

Our team takes pride in executing projects with precision — meeting deadlines, staying on budget, and exceeding expectations. We care deeply about the outcomes of our work because we know that when our clients succeed, we succeed — and that’s what drives us every day.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Beginning in 2015 we worked intimately with the team at Norwest Engineering on a multi-million-dollar, first-of-its-kind chemical manufacturing facility. We engaged Norwest Engineering shortly after the preliminary design phase for this project. They were instrumental in carrying the project from the proverbial ‘cocktail napkin’ through to design & build and startup. With a diverse team of highly qualified engineers from various disciplines, Norwest Engineering was able to usher us through designing and re-designing the entire process, evaluating and participating in process hazards analyses, feasibility studies, permitting and environmental concerns, and automation reviews. With budget-conscious restrictions, several redesigns were evaluated and implemented by the team with Norwest’s constant attention and careful consideration. Not only was Norwest extremely competent and professional in every aspect of this project, they were also an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way. Norwest Engineering has our highest recommendation, and we consider our choice to work with them among the best decisions we have ever made."
Luke MarinLead Chemist, Director of R&D

"Norwest takes the time to understand how we operate and how we execute our projects. They try to provide a consistent team between projects, so the team can carry over lessons-learned and be more efficient. I have worked with Norwest on projects from Washington State to Kansas. They listen to our needs and bring practical solutions to every issue so we can get projects done quickly and on budget. Our projects vary in size, and Norwest provides hands-on Project Managers who are also engineers and understand all aspects of the project."
Randy HallManager, Projects and Development
"A great consulting company delivers what it promises. Norwest is responsive, does great work, and always delivers. I worked on the consultant side and I know how tricky it can be to keep great teams together. Norwest is just a great team."
