Who We Are
About Equilibrium
A diverse, collaborative team of experts with purpose
Welcome to Equilibrium, an engineering consultancy delivering fully integrated geotechnical, structural geology, and hydrogeology solutions all over the world.
We are recognized specialists in a wide range of commodities, geologies, and deposit types in both open pit and underground mining. Our technical leaders have decades of combined practical experience spanning projects of every size and complexity level.
What sets us apart from large, traditional consulting firms?
Our foundational principle is balance.
In balancing technical skill with practical expertise, a strong work ethic with a focus on our team’s overall well-being, and growth with sustainability, we want to be agents of positive impact for our clients, our team, and our planet.
Our story
Equilibrium was founded in 2022 by Karen Moffitt and quickly grew into a core team of experienced and driven engineers with the addition of Rita Tsai, Karyn Gallant, and Karl Lawrence. We each left successful careers in larger corporate settings because we were inspired to build something different: a consulting practice where balance creates excellence. Our hard-working team now includes over 50 specialists executing a wide range of projects for our valued clients.
