Our tag line “Down to Earth / Up to the Challenge” says a lot about who we are. In broad terms, we think KCB’s primary differentiators are:

  • Engage with clients, colleagues and suppliers on environmentally focused field programs and design solutions
  • Work with the latest versions of software, including GoldSim, PCSWMM, HEC-RAS, HEC- HMS, Flow-2D/3D
  • Be a part of diverse teams of multi-discipline engineers and designers from conceptual design through to construction.
  • Receive ongoing guidance and mentorship from leaders in the industry in a supportive, dynamic company culture that supports career development.
  • Travel to various project sites within Canada and internationally.

  • An ability to find creative solutions and know how to present them
  • An ability to build rapport with clients, colleagues, and industry partners
  • Demonstrate that you are flexible and seek solutions rather than focus on problems

Along With Continued Career Development, KCB Offers

  • Hybrid work opportunities
  • Annual performance and salary review
  • PSMJ’s supported track record of profitability, leading to above average bonus payouts
