G2 Consulting Group is opening up a new office in Ann Arbor, which is bringing a handful of new hires to Tree Town.
The Troy-based firm provides environmental and geotechnical engineering services in the construction industry. It has an office in Chicago and is opening up the new office in Ann Arbor to accommodate its double-digit revenue growth. The new office has a staff of six people and ambitions to grow further.
"We are going to hire a couple more people for that office," says Noel Hargrave, co-founder & principal of
G2 Consulting Group. He adds there are two engineering jobs currently open.
The 20-year-old firm has experienced significant growth in the last two year, spiking its revenues by 20 percent in 2012 and 31 percent last year. Part of that expanded work comes from the University of Michigan and Washtenaw County. G2 Consulting Group is opening a lab for soils and materials work in its Ann Arbor office to accommodate that work.
G2 Consulting Group does work across the U.S., operating in 29 states. Hargrave says the business has grown with the upswing in economy because it’s true to its word when it’s time to deliver.
"We do what we say we're going to do and we do it on a timely basis," Hargrave says. "In construction you can't be the person holding up the project."
