ENGEO New Zealand began in April 2010 as Geoscience Consulting (NZ) Ltd. a Geotechnical Engineering consultancy based in Christchurch with two founders. Following the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, Geoscience was heavily involved in the assessment and rebuild efforts, and staff numbers began to grow rapidly. By the end of the first full year of operation we grew to 11 employees. Geoscience continued to grow rapidly through 2011, and we found it difficult to find good engineers to keep up with our increasing workload. However, during 2011 we met someone from ENGEO in the US and the cultures of our two companies aligned instantly.
