We’re part of the same family-run organization. Rice Brothers Canada carries the same people, methods and safety program to Canadian projects, with the full Rice Brothers organization behind us when a project needs more people or equipment. The US company is at rice-brothers.com.
Rice Brothers is led by an executive team with decades of industrial construction experience, including Chief Executive Officer Andrew Rice. Meet the full team on our about page.
We self-perform all major craft disciplines, so one company is responsible from engineering through construction and maintenance. We’re family-run, we put safety ahead of everything else, and our leadership has more combined experience than most companies have in total.
Four core services: engineering and design, industrial construction (including storage and treatment systems), plant maintenance, and HVAC, refrigeration and plumbing.
Engineering, procurement and construction. One contractor designs the project, buys the equipment and materials, and builds it, which gives you a single point of responsibility from first drawing to handover.
Either works. We take on engineering only, construction only, maintenance only, or full EPC.
All major craft disciplines, including piping, mechanical, structural, concrete, HVAC, and electrical and instrumentation.
Yes. Most of our construction and maintenance happens in operating facilities, and we plan the work around your production schedule.
Yes. We take on everything from small jobs to large and complex projects.
All of it. We’re based in Calgary and work in every province and territory: Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
The regions closest to our Calgary base: Calgary and Southern Alberta, Edmonton and the Industrial Heartland, Fort McMurray and the oil sands, Red Deer, Grande Prairie and the Montney, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. That’s where we start, not where we stop.

Our strongest industries are oil and gas, midstream, chemical and petrochemical, water and wastewater, food and beverage, renewables, data centers and manufacturing.
Yes. We also take on mining, potash and fertilizer, pulp and paper, LNG, hydrogen and carbon capture, agriculture, pharmaceutical, utilities and distribution centres. If your project needs skilled crews who work safely in an operating facility, it’s probably a fit, and if it isn’t we’ll tell you straight away.
Yes. We deliver mission-critical data center EPC, including liquid cooling, high-density power, prefabrication and five-level commissioning. See our data center page.
Safety is our number one priority. Our vision is that safety saves lives and quality saves jobs. We train our field management to recognize, avoid and prevent the conditions that lead to accidents, and Rice Brothers Canada carries the same program to every Canadian site.
Every employee completes company orientation, Basic Plus+, site-specific orientation, pre-employment drug and alcohol screening, respirator fit testing, a medical evaluation and physical, and NCCER or equivalent industry certification.
