KCI is a 1,000+ person, employee-owned engineering and construction firm anchored in transportation, water/wastewater, and federal infrastructure work. The tech stack reveals a traditional AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) profile: CAD-centric (AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation), survey-grade (Trimble, RTK GPS, Ground Penetrating Radar), and project-management heavy (Primavera P6, Unanet, Deltek Vantage). Hiring is heavily weighted toward engineering roles, with active pain points around federal compliance, project margin management, and multidisciplinary team coordination—classic signals of a high-complexity, regulated, margin-sensitive services business scaling its execution infrastructure.
Notable leadership hires: Survey Party Chief, Survey Chief, Survey Lead, Canal Bridge Inspection Lead, Director of Growth
KCI delivers engineering, consulting, and construction services to federal, state, local government, and private-sector clients across the United States. The firm operates a multi-disciplinary service portfolio spanning transportation (roadway, bridge, highway infrastructure), water and wastewater systems, environmental remediation, facilities, security, and utilities. With more than 2,000 employee-owners and offices nationwide, KCI handles both design (via teams using CAD, BIM, and GIS tooling) and construction delivery (with survey, inspection, and site management). Current work includes VDOT roadway projects, federal security infrastructure, marine and structural inspections, and water facility development. Internally, the firm is building operational scale around contract lifecycle management, federal compliance workflows, and cost/margin tracking on complex, phased delivery programs.
