Background

About Eli Njaa

President & CEO of Mountain Movers Engineering Co, a turnkey earthwork and retaining wall contractor delivering high-performance, value-engineered solutions across Southern California. I grew up on the rugged coastlines of Alaska, shaped by commercial fishing and custom homebuilding alongside my father. Those early years taught me hard work, grit, and how to solve tough problems with limited resources. At 18, I moved to San Diego with nothing but a shovel and a work ethic—and built a career from the ground up. Over the years, I’ve worn every hat—from laborer and operator to superintendent and VP of Operations. Today, I lead Mountain Movers with a vision rooted in integrity, efficiency, and performance. We specialize in retaining walls, grading, and site development for large-scale residential and commercial projects. Our team delivers value-engineered systems with complete turnkey solutions—including earthwork, demolition, crushing, and more. We’re proud to work with some of the top developers in California. Looking for a partner who knows how to move dirt and build relationships? Let’s talk.
