Our Business

Engineered Intelligence (EII) is a utility infrastructure technology company headquartered in Calgary with offices in Toronto, and additional locations opening in the US. Our software is used by many of North America’s most reliable electric utilities to manage their physical grid assets and optimize intervention and investment decision-making. We do this by digitally modelling the entire electrical network to see how it reacts under various scenario simulations. We leverage robust statistics, reliability engineering principles, and machine learning to provide defensible recommendations for our customers’ short- and long-term asset performance management, capital spend, and planning strategies.

One of our core differentiators is the technical experience and support our clients receive. In addition to our software solution, we provide subject matter expertise, engineering services, consultation, and many other support activities to ensure our clients are successful. We speak our customers’ language; our team is full of former electrical utility industry professionals who are uniquely suited to address the specific challenges associated with managing electrical infrastructure within a heavily regulated environment. In fact, Engineered Intelligence was created by engineers working on the deliverables supported by our platform at some of North America’s largest and most recognized electrical utilities.

Our core values include:

• Teamwork - Teamwork is about investing in our people. Employee engagement, training & development, and providing various opportunities for growth. Great people do great things together. We support each other, share knowledge, and collaborate to solve complex challenges that no one can tackle alone.

• ‍Customer Commitment - To reach the level of success we aspire to, we need to place our customers at the center of every decision. What challenges are they or the industry facing? How can we continue to solve these pain points? How can we innovate to prevent future challenges before they appear? Customer commitment is going beyond sales; it’s making a promise and then over-delivering so that our customers become our external sales team.

• Innovation - Innovation covers more than creating new products/services. Innovation also means adopting an innovative mindset for how we approach the day-to-day. This includes assessing how we think, work, or communicate and identifying opportunities to improve. We rethink the status quo from the ground up. By embracing diverse perspectives and challenging assumptions, we create solutions that move the industry forward and redefine what’s possible in utility planning. We are willing to break the status quo and create new ways of doing things to drive the team forward.

• Ownership - We take initiative, follow through, and hold ourselves accountable. From the smallest detail to the biggest decision, we own the outcome.

Who we are:

We are a lean, well-established, mid-size company experiencing sustained, fast and intentional growth. Our team of professionals is fully remote, spanning across Canada, the United States and Europe with optional in-person office spaces in Calgary and Toronto for collaborative work and hosting clients.
