Great West is a very knowledgeable firm, in fact more so than previous firms I have worked with. Great West’s hydrologist is in my opinion among the best in the entire country. I don’t see any reason why I would shop around for another firm.

Great West has gone out of their way to facilitate a timely response to any projects we had. I am very pleased with the extra mile Great West will go to make sure a project is completed properly.
Dave Schulz, Commissioner

Sometimes I felt guilty about calling Great West about an issue because they would drop everything they were doing and get right to it. The customer service is so outstanding that it would be hard for others to out match it.
Dennis Hoyem, Commissioner
Stillwater County
Great West has kept us on track and ahead of schedule. The fact that you know the same person you’re dealing with all of the time and you can call him up on the phone any time is the most valuable aspect of Great West’s service. I appreciate the firm’s reliability and responsiveness. Great West is very customer oriented and personable. They are very happy to do whatever you ask them to. They treat you like you’re their best customer.

Great West Engineering, Bear Paw Development, Intermountain Construction, TSEP, WRDA, Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, Drinking Water SRF, all came together and made this project a success. EPA and DEQ were also very good to work with and helped us in many ways to get our water system up to compliance. It was a team effort with very few problems.

Travis Pyle and Michelle Langdon of Great West have been a pleasure to work with and have seamlessly become a part of our landfill team. Their genuine willingness to help provide guidance and find solutions to our challenges has come as a nice change from other consulting teams that have a “salesman” mentality.

As an owner/operator, it is important that an engineering firm not only understands what you want, but also listens to the direction you give them. In my experience, Great West Engineering does not take short cuts and has little gray area which leads to a project that will stand the test of time. I would recommend them if you want a project with high end design.
Josh Bartlome, Executive Director
Southern Idaho Solid Waste District

The City of Glendive has worked with Great West Engineering on two major projects and numerous smaller projects in the last eleven years. We have completed a wastewater treatment plant and are currently working with them on our water treatment plant upgrades. Great West has completed planning, grant writing, design, and construction management for each of these projects.
Their knowledge of funding from different agencies, both State and federal, is extensive. They have helped the City receive multiple grants to complete projects. If we have questions, they are available to help guide us. The grant writing staff has exhaustive experience in both writing and administering grants and have worked on both sides of the grant process.

Sandra Jones, Mayor
City of Roundup
The new intake was one of the most detailed and extensive civil work project the City of Laurel has ever undertaken. Great West Engineering was tasked with the intricacies of a project of this scope and performed very well. The new intake project was a very difficult project to complete as we had to deal with wetlands, a major river, multiple property owners, and multiple government agencies to acquire the proper construction permits. Great West Engineering’s consultants helped navigate all aspects of this project and should be commended for their efforts.
