As Oklahomans, we know the lay of the land. As engineers, we are stewards of resources and projects to help sustain our communities.

Cowan Group Engineering (CGE) was founded in 2012 with engineer Jeff Cowan, two others, and a mission to serve our state as effective engineers who manage resources effectively and build sustainability. Since then, we’ve grown to 45+ employees, each with Oklahoma-specific experience in civil engineering, water and wastewater,  transportation, land planning, land survey and construction management.
