Our Story
A Geoscientist and a GeologicalEngineer joined forces. Then we grew.
In 2007, a group of like-minded engineers and geoscientists joined forces to create Active Earth, an Environmental Engineering firm named in recognition of the earth’s constantly changing state. Through an emphasis on providing quality work, building mutually beneficial relationships with industry and community, and fostering a positive and fun culture, Active Earth inevitably began to flourish.
Persisting to present day, Active Earth continues to grow on the foundations of bringing value to our clients, staff, and communities. Active Earth is:
- Led by seven industry leading owners who are fully engaged in the company’s strategic goals, management, and day to day operations.
- Servicing all of BC with six strategically located office locations.
- A multi disciplinary environmental consulting firm which includes more than 60 talented and passionate individuals, including engineers, geoscientists, hydrogeologists, biologists, agrologists, technicians, and professional support staff.
- Servicing a range of clients including government agencies (municipal, provincial and federal), institutional agencies, property owners, contractors, developers, realtors, architects, First Nations, and other engineers and consultants.
- Giving back to communities.
What Makes Active Earth Unique?
Employee Owned
We are 100% employee owned. This ensures that all senior project staff have a stake in the success and reputation of our company and that we care about the outcome of each and every project.
Knowledgeable & Experienced
All project management staff are knowledgeable, personable, and have significant technical experience. We don’t separate “project managers” from “technical staff”. Rather, we find and cultivate people who possess both skill sets.
Superior Communication
We are strong communicators who listen and respond to our clients’ ideas and concerns. We closely track the costs and progress for each project to minimize risks to budget and schedule. We provide frequent, clear, and concise progress reports throughout the life of each project.
Committed to our Clients
We are honest, open, and look out for the long-term interests of our clients. We recognize that clearly identifying risks as early as possible (i.e. potential environmental liabilities) is essential for protecting the long-term interests of our clients.
Expert Field staff
All field activities are completed by senior staff or fully-trained junior staff under the direct supervision of senior staff. Our field staff also fully understand the background and goals of each project. This helps to ensure top-notch in-field problem solving and decision making.
Great Work Environment
With relatively low staff turnover since 2007, we provide a consistent, highly competent team. Active Earth emphasizes employee satisfaction and retention through a social and fun work environment, an inclusive flat hierarchy, great benefits and bonuses, and above industry pay.
