Kleinschmidt Associates Tech Stack
Hydropower and environmental engineering for regulatory compliance and fish passage
Kleinschmidt is a 200+ person engineering consultancy built around hydropower projects, fisheries science, and environmental permitting. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward CAD, GIS, and hydraulic modeling (AutoCAD, Revit, ArcGIS, HEC-RAS, HydroCAD) — tools that reflect deep domain expertise in complex infrastructure design. Hiring is almost entirely engineering-focused (18 of 20 active roles), skewed toward senior and mid-level staff, with project pipelines around fish passage retrofits, hydroelectric facility design, and ecological restoration — work that demands regulatory knowledge and multidisciplinary coordination.
