Geotechnical / CMT M&A Opportunity
The Opportunity
A well-established, privately backed engineering consulting firm headquartered in the Mid-Atlantic is actively expanding into Florida and is seeking strategic partners to accelerate its growth.
This is a unique opportunity for:
- Owners of small to mid-sized firms considering a transition or exit
- Established teams looking for greater backing and growth potential
- Senior professionals with a strong book of business and leadership ambitions
The firm is particularly interested in opportunities involving accredited laboratories and testing services, with a target revenue range of approximately $1M annually, but remains flexible for the right strategic fit.
What They Are Looking For
Firms:
- ~ $1M annual revenue (flexible range depending on strategic value)
- Accredited lab capabilities preferred (construction materials testing, geotechnical, environmental, etc.)
- Strong local presence and client relationships
Teams / Lift-Outs:
- Established groups with a proven track record in winning and delivering work
- Capability to operate semi-autonomously while scaling under a larger platform
Individuals:
- Senior engineers, principals, or business developers
- Existing client portfolio / book of business
- Interest in building or leading a Florida operation
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Backed by Private Equity: Access to capital to scale quickly and pursue aggressive growth
- Entrepreneurial Platform: Ability to build, lead, and shape a regional presence
- Flexible Transaction Structures: Open to acquisitions, equity partnerships, or strategic hires
- Speed & Agility: Decision-making driven by growth rather than bureaucracy
- Long-Term Upside: Equity participation opportunities available for the right individuals or businesses
Ideal Background
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Construction Materials Testing (CMT)
- Environmental / Geosciences
- Accredited Lab Operations
