We’re shaping the future of New Zealand’s industries.
Driving efficiency, sustainability, and lasting impact.
Techo was founded to challenge the status quo.
Frustrated by costly overruns, one-size-fits-all solutions, and a lack of accountability, our founders set out to do things differently.
From day one, we’ve been committed to smarter, high-quality engineering that delivers real value. Solutions designed around client needs, built with precision, and backed by performance.
Over 25 years later, that ethos remains at the heart of everything we do.
Our Values
Reliability
We’re the team you can trust to deliver calmly and confidently. We take ownership and stand by our outcomes.
Innovation
We’re open to new ideas, methods and ways of working that deliver smarter, cleaner, and more efficient outcomes.
Excellence
We set a high bar. Not just for results, but for the care and clarity that goes into exceeding expectations.
Impact
Our work can shape long-term outcomes for Aotearoa, benefiting our clients, communities, and the environment.
Collaboration
We work with people, not around or above them. We see good ideas as shared wins regardless of where they come from.
