Luhkewin Inc. was founded in Oromocto, New Brunswick, otherwise known as Welamukotuk in the wolastoqey language. The word Luhkewin is pronounced “Lou-Gowin” and means worker. Luhkewin inc. comes from a demand to build capacity and match key infrastructure and environmental engineering projects to an underrepresented labour force from local First Nations communities. Luhkewin inc was built 'for us, by us' with the next seven generations in mind. Offering partnership through environmental protections and creating meaningful employment for local families in a land based field.

Hi, I'm Rob Holland, I am a Veteran, professional engineer, and environmental practitioner with more than 25 years of experience delivering practical solutions to environmental, infrastructure, and construction projects. My career has taken me from the forests and watersheds of Atlantic Canada to leading complex engineering and construction projects across the country, combining technical expertise with a hands-on understanding of the land and the communities it supports.
With formal education in forestry, environmental management, civil engineering, and business, I have managed projects ranging from environmental assessments and habitat restoration initiatives to multi-million-dollar infrastructure and construction programs. Through every project, I have learned that the best solutions are those that balance environmental stewardship, community priorities, and long-term sustainability. I partnered with Luhkewin Inc. to help build capacity within Indigenous communities and support meaningful participation in environmental management, infrastructure development, and sustainable growth.
