KCB is a Vancouver-based engineering and environmental consulting firm operating across mining, energy, infrastructure, and hydropower. The tech stack—GeoStudio, PLAXIS, HEC-RAS, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, and specialized geotechnical modeling tools—reflects a firm built around complex soil, water, and structural analysis. Active hiring is heavily skewed toward engineering (80 of 85 open roles, mostly senior-level), and project concentration on tailings management, dam design, and mine water systems indicates the firm's core market is large-scale resource and infrastructure projects where geotechnical risk is the binding constraint.
