They Value and Appreciate their Employees

KGS Group is a people-focused engineering firm built on a strong 40-year legacy in water and hydropower. Employees are valued through a culture where their voice matters; collaboration is encouraged, and individuals can make a meaningful impact on the work they do.

The company combines a deep passion for hydropower with a workplace culture rooted in strong values, long-term vision, and lasting client relationships. Many team members, including the original owners, have been with KGS for over 20 years, creating stability, mentorship, and continuity.

Employees also benefit from access to globally respected subject matter experts with 20+ years of hydropower experience, offering mentorship and deep technical knowledge. With its collaborative and entrepreneurial spirit, KGS is ideal for people who want to contribute, make an impact, and be part of something bigger.

The firm embraces a collaborative and entrepreneurial environment where innovation is encouraged. Unlike larger risk-averse firms, KGS takes on complex, “first of its kind” projects and partners directly with trusted vendors and general contractors. Examples include designing a 600-ton gantry crane and teaming with specialized instrumentation partners on cutting-edge work such as placing strain gauges on a pump turbine with 1,000 feet of head—instrumentation at pressures never previously attempted.

Employees at KGS get to work on “cool” and technically challenging projects that competitors often avoid. They’re not just assigned tasks—they help shape the work they do, have real influence, and see the impact of their contributions.

A Culture of Fun, Community, and Appreciation, there’s always something to look forward to here. With monthly social events like February Fitness Month, Pi Day, Volunteer Month, festive holiday celebrations, potlucks, and Employee Appreciation Day, our teams enjoy engaging, meaningful opportunities to connect and recharge all year long.
