Raising the Standard
Tate Engineering was founded with a clear vision, to raise the standard in how engineering is delivered and to do it without sacrificing what matters most.
When Roxanne Tate started the firm in 2012, she wasn’t just thinking about blueprints and timelines. She was thinking about how to build a meaningful career while being present for her three kids. She wanted to work in a way that aligned with her values, showing up fully for her family and doing excellent work that others could depend on. That clarity became the foundation for everything that followed.
As the company grew, so did its impact. Roxanne’s husband, Murray, soon joined the business bringing his own strengths and deepening the firm’s capacity to take on complex, high-stakes projects. Together, they’ve built Tate Engineering into a company grounded in care, candor, and a fierce commitment to doing the right thing.

Why We Do This Work
We believe engineering isn’t just technical, it’s personal. The decisions we make shape the safety, sustainability, and livability of the communities we serve. We know what’s at stake, and we don’t take it lightly.
That’s Why We:
Think ahead and design solutions with long-term impact in mind
Prioritize safety and integrity on every site
Treat our clients’ challenges like our own
Deliver practical, forward-thinking results without shortcuts
We understand that behind every project is a person, a team, a community and their families. That lens shapes how we work, how we lead, and how we support the people around us.
Our Vision
We’re here to raise the bar. For what project delivery can look like. For how teams collaborate. For the level of trust clients should expect. And for how deeply an engineering firm can care about people and place.
We do this by staying grounded in our core values of integrity, effectiveness, candor, proactivity and tenacity and by building bold, resilient solutions in healthcare, housing, energy, and beyond.
Get in touch. We’re ready when you are.
