ENGEO was founded in 1971. The company was small and was largely engaged in providing geotechnical engineering services for private developers.
In 1986, two new employees, one of them a founder’s son (and now current President), created big plans for the company and began steering it to further success. They organized the company around clients in a way that allowed them to be served as they had never been served before. At the heart of the company remained a trademark commitment to the success of others.
By 1992 the firm had been transformed into what we know and appreciate today, an employee-owned company with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, a place where the doors are left open and the organizational structure is flipped upside-down with the president at the bottom and employees having servant leaders, not managers. Each employee at ENGEO is committed to the good of our company, each other, and especially our clients, just as much as the leaders who got us here.
Today, ENGEO is a recognized leader for public and private projects of great complexity in earthquake-prone regions in the US and abroad. With more than 300 employees in offices throughout California, Nevada, New Zealand, and Australia, ENGEO is honored to serve high-profile projects with the highest levels of technical knowledge and experience.
ENGEO New Zealand was founded in April 2010 as Geoscience Consulting (NZ) Ltd. a geotechnical engineering consultancy based in Christchurch. Following the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, Geoscience was heavily involved in the assessment and rebuild efforts, and grew from two founders to 11 staff in its first year of operation. Geoscience continued to grow rapidly through 2011, and it was during this year that engineers from ENGEO in the US visited, and the cultures of our two companies aligned instantly.
Our people, culture, and dynamic leadership team create an environment that drives innovation and inspires the confidence to take on any challenge. ENGEO is not a typical engineering and environmental consultancy. Without question, we’re professional, reliable, and customer-focused, but we’re also passionate, innovative, and personally committed to client success. We thrive by finding meaningful opportunities to promote growth and prosperity for our clients, employees, and communities. In pursuing our vision of excellence, we make little distinction between work and play. In short, we love what we do.
The concept of ONE is our deliberate effort to collaborate as one technical family, across disciplines, cities, and continents. We remove the barriers that have traditionally existed in our industry between clients, projects, and people using the latest technology and our steadfast commitment to extreme client service. There is only one ENGEO in the world and as people become addicted to our service, we will adapt and grow – finding new ways to serve and delight our clients, staff, and communities.
We’re an award-winning, employee-owned consulting firm, and it’s our team that makes this possible. We are committed to the success of others and to providing the highest level of service. At ENGEO we promote open lines of communication, immediate responsiveness, and an absolute sense of accountability in a supportive, innovative and positive environment.

ENGEO announces that it has been engaged to design and shepherd the first Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD) focused on flood prevention. The GHAD will assist in protecting the City of Isleton against flood hazards and provide resilient flood damage relief.
Geologic Hazard Abatement Districts (GHADs) are state agencies formed by local communities to provide prevention, rapid response, and funding to address hazardous geologic conditions. They were established by the California Legislature to protect communities from landslides, earth movement, erosion, and other similar hazards. The Delta Region GHAD will be the first of its kind in protecting against the peril of flood.
