Ian estimates that of their current clients, 80 per cent are repeat ones. That approach has also led to industry recognition in the form of awards and accolades. In 2022, for example, the magazine ‘Canadian Consulting Engineer’ named Ian one of their ‘Top 10 Under 40,’ for which he was nominated by his peers in the industry. Then in 2023, Polar Engineering won the Danfoss EnVisioneer of the Year Award in the ‘Engineering Consultant’ category. The annual EnVisioneer of the Year award competition is hosted by Danfoss, a global company that designs, manufactures, and sells engineering solutions focused on increasing machine productivity, reducing emissions, THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
