Harrison Grierson is widely regarded as one of the leading engineering and design consultancies in New Zealand.

The Company began trading in 1885 when architect John William Harrison set up practice in Auckland, New Zealand. He was later joined in partnership by surveyor Charles Kirkpatrick Grierson in 1912.

Today, Harrison Grierson is a large advisory and design consultancy working in four key market sectors; Land and Buildings, Water and the Environment, Utilities and Transport.

The Company operates throughout Australasia and the Pacific Rim from a regional base in New Zealand (Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch and Whakatane).

Their business is one of the most trusted in the region, working alongside central and local governments strengthening infrastructure and communities, working with corporations to build enduring businesses and with aid agencies building support infrastructure in developing nations. Their technical knowledge, business culture and independent advice are intrinsic to their dedicated staff and highly valued by their clients.

THEIR CULTURE

What makes them different

They challenge theirselves to think in creative ways and find truly innovative solutions for all their clients – on projects big and small. But what makes them unique is that they're always looking for measurable ways to enhance the natural, social and built environments around them. They find the passion for their work in the rich history of their company, the legacy of the pioneering spirit of the company’s founders and the dedication and hard work of their team members and leaders.

The organisational values that are the key driving forces within Harrison Grierson are:

Client Understanding
First, they listen to their clients and what's important to them. They go above and beyond their clients' expectations to deliver inspired and creative solutions with a genuine ‘can-do’ attitude.

Integrity and Accountability
Everything they do, they do with integrity. They say what they mean and they mean what they say. They're steadfast in their responsibilities - to theirselves, to their clients and to each other.

One Company, United
Problems are there to be solved, and when they work together, they can solve just about anything. They're a group of talented individuals, and together they're an even stronger team.

Determination
They believe that where there's a will there's a way. They don't tolerate complacency. They set theirselves high standards, and their clients trust them to deliver.
