Company Description

KPFF is a collaborative and creative team of civil and structural engineers and surveyors that thrive on designing innovative solutions for projects of all scales. KPFF is a leader in sustainable design, providing our clients with visionary, environmentally sensitive and technically advanced services. Our company is large (1,300+ employees across 22 offices), but each office is self-directed and has its own unique culture and specialties. KPFF is nimble and operates day-to-day with the flexibility of a small firm. We have a talented group of collaborative and dedicated engineers in a family-friendly, business casual environment.

The Portland Civil + Survey office (including Eugene and Washington DC staff) consists of 106 employees including 41 PEs and 3 PLSs. Our Eugene office includes 19 employees. We are proud to share that 28% of our staff are former interns. Our core Civil practice focuses on site development, public utility and roadway infrastructure, parks and trails, and innovative stormwater management. Our Survey team focuses on boundary staking, topo surveying, construction layout, drone missions, and building inspections. We work on many different and exciting design projects including education and healthcare facilities, national parks, cultural centers, zoos and museums, as well as government and international facilities. We believe in encouraging personal and professional growth, and we work hard at providing a solid structure with minimal organizational restrictions.

KPFF is more than just the work we do, we are the relationships we build, both with our clients and with our co-workers. To foster those relationships, we encourage participation in social activities and events with our local staff.
