News From GTA

Every GTA office has its own rhythm, but across the company, there’s a shared energy that runs through every team: people who work hard, have fun together, and take real pride in what they do. We see it in the collaboration that happens day-to-day and in the friendships that form outside of work.

Since opening in 2006, our Charlotte, North Carolina office has grown from just a few associates to more than 45 across the field and office. Today, the team tackles construction observation, materials testing, geotechnical services, environmental work, and residential builder projects.
