We Are Tiaki Engineering Consultants
Taking Care of Our Clients & Their Projects
Since 2011, Tiaki Engineering Consultants has provided robust civil, structural, and geotechnical solutions to clients across the Bay of Plenty, Waikato, Coromandel, South Auckland and beyond, including projects as far-reaching as Scott Base in Antarctica. Based in Tauranga, our regional presence supports efficient, hands-on delivery while enabling us to contribute to projects throughout Aotearoa.
We are a multidisciplinary team known for our pragmatic thinking, technical excellence, and collaborative culture. Our engineers, technicians, and specialists work closely with clients to translate vision into reality, combining technical depth with a practical understanding of local constraints and opportunities.
Tiaki Engineering is a boutique consultancy that prioritises personal service, meaning clients deal directly with the people delivering their projects. Yet behind every conversation is the strength of a well-rounded team with proven capability across diverse sectors.
We have built strong relationships with landowners, developers, councils, iwi, ports, and industry, guided by a commitment to clear communication, environmental responsibility, and care. Our work is informed by the principles of kaitiakitanga — guardianship of both land and relationships — ensuring our designs are sustainable, respectful, and grounded in long-term value.

Our Philosophy
We believe the success of every project starts with strong relationships and simple, honest communication.
Engineering is not just technical, it’s human. Our approach balances practical design expertise with an understanding of the people, places, and constraints that shape every job.
We work closely with our clients to understand what matters most, and then deliver solutions that are not only compliant, but clear, buildable, and fit for purpose.
At Tiaki, we design with foresight, collaborate with care, and deliver with intent.
Our Commitment
At Tiaki Engineering Consultants, our name reflects our purpose – ‘to care for’.
We are committed to delivering robust, well-considered engineering solutions grounded in clear communication and enduring relationships.
With over 15 years of experience across New Zealand’s infrastructure landscape, our team has earned a reputation for reliability, responsiveness, and respect for the people we serve.
We treat every project as a partnership that is tailored, transparent, and responsive from the first meeting to final delivery
