About Fundy Engineering
Two engineers, one shingle, 1989. Still employee-owned.
Gordon Mouland, a geotechnical engineer, and Peter McKelvey, a bio-resources engineer, opened Fundy Engineering & Consulting in a Saint John already full of established firms. Their bet was simple: a multidisciplinary firm that served its clients' needs first would last. Thirty-six years, several recessions and a wave of industry consolidation later, it has.
