We are an independent and recognised specialist, all-purpose engineering company located in Auckland and Northland.

We walk the talk every time and are all about adding value in our areas of expertise where we are genuinely qualified and experienced: civil structural engineering and design, durability and rehabilitation, asset management and coatings corrosion protection engineering.

What are we here for? Sustainable infrastructure for NZ’s future generations.

What our clients say

  • GRIT Engineering provided structural and durability engineering services with an investigation at Semenoff stadium. The stadium is an important asset for the Whangarei District, availability for large events and public safety are paramount. We found them to be very professional, responsive and competent. It felt we were in safe hands as GRIT engineers were practical and clearly focused on adding value. We would recommend GRIT for structural engineering and assessment projects on this basis.

  • As contractors on various industrial sites across NZ, we have enjoyed a close collaborative working relationship with Jason and his crew at GRIT.
