About the Company

They are a fast-growing geotechnical, environmental, and construction materials testing firm founded in 2023. In just three years, they have expanded from a solo operation to a 22-person team working on multifamily projects across the U.S. Their client base is national, and their work spans diverse geologies-from volcanic rock in Utah to sinkholes in Florida.

They're lean, agile, and profitable from day one thanks to strong relationships with major developers. Their team is self-driven, collaborative, and values autonomy. Everyone has their own office, and they don't micromanage - they care about results, not clock-ins.
