Today’s engineering problems are a complex mix of challenges and considerations. Kleinfelder brings well-rounded, holistic thinking and wide-ranging technical experience to help you move forward.

Half a century of quality engineering doesn’t mean stuffy or stuck—in fact, it’s the agility to adapt to our clients’, and the world’s, changing needs that keeps us at the leading edge.

Vision and Values

At the heart of our company is our purpose: to serve our clients, our people, and our communities. We fulfill this purpose by living out our vision and values, individually and collectively, each and every day.

Our vision and values statement explains who we are as “One Company” and why we exist. It describes our strategic direction and what we will do to achieve that. It articulates what we believe in, what we focus on, and what is important to us. It creates a common understanding for all employee-owners, clients, partners, and others who interact with us. It guides our behavior and serves as the foundation for our decision-making. In short, it’s the Kleinfelder way.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Kleinfelder serves our clients, our people, and our communities. Our collective desire to leave a lasting, positive influence has been woven into our business model through the creation of the Kleinfelder Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program, tailored to address our communities’ most pressing issues. With a focus on four essential pillars—disaster relief, diversity, sustainability, and volunteerism—Kleinfelder sets annual goals for contributing resources and delivering an impact where needed most.

Safety is a core value for everyone within our company, on our job sites, and in our offices. We view safety as an important benefit for our employees, our partners and our clients. Kleinfelder’s Safety Vision is quite simple: No one gets hurt. To achieve that goal, Kleinfelder has adopted a number of systems and programs that help our people recognize, understand, and act in appropriately. While training, safety policies and procedures are important, we also recognize that the key to success relies on the individual, the choices they make, but most importantly, why they do. To address the personal factors, we have made considerable investments in our safety program, which includes the Loss Prevention SystemTM (LPS), a behavior-based continuous improvement system that all of our employees participate in.  

Reducing Risk

Our employees benefit because they can maintain a high quality of life, both at work and home.  While we know our clients work in challenging and sometimes hazardous environments, injuries and incidents can occur anywhere, at any time. Whether it’s a simple task in the office environment, or a complex task on a construction project, we’re reducing potential risks, making the job site as safe as possible for our people, our clients, and the community at large. Finally, our company benefits because at the end of the day, our employees are confident, our clients satisfied, and the job site is secure.
