CULTURE
We Make a Difference
We provide integrated solutions for the built environment by building leaders who bring passion, mastery, and purpose to all they do.
Working in the
Carbondale office, I
get to ride my bike to work and trail run out the door in the summer and then ski at world-class resorts in the winter. All while working on fascinating projects and with the resources of a large firm at my disposal. Plus, there’s no traffic!

I enjoy having the
freedom to implement
change in the organization
and see others at all levels making similar impacts on the way we do things. It’s also great to see some of my best friends at work every day, not many people can say that about their job.

Buffalo is great
because we get to
work on diverse and
interesting projects like the other KL&A offices, and we get to live in a wonderful small town with the Big Horn Mountains less than 10 minutes from town.
