Brian Muir, P. Eng., Founder and Principal Engineer

Brian Muir is the founder and principal engineer of Muir Engineering Ltd., a company he started in 2007.

Brian started in Vancouver in 1990 as electronics engineer in high tech before settling into a ten-year run at Creo Products Limited in Burnaby.  Creo was a rapidly growing and innovative firm with a mission to modernize the printing industry. Brian’s roles there included leadership positions in Design, Customer Support and Information Technology. In 2006 he left Creo and spent a year retraining as an independent consultant. 

In 2007 he and his family moved to the Comox Valley and Brian began Muir Engineering. Since then, and through a steady stream of contracts, he has developed a diverse set of expertise: high voltage design, interior and exterior lighting, fire alarm, communications and security, patient care wiring, pumps and motorized systems and more.

Brian enjoys skiing, soccer, kiteboarding and sailing. In June 2022 he attempted the Race To Alaska but his team was forced to retire with a broken mast on day four. The team regrouped and made another run in 2023, and despite day after day of gale force winds they completed the 750 mile run in just over seven days, finishing in fifth place.
