About KPFF Consulting Engineers

KPFF was founded in 1960 by Al Kelly in Seattle, Washington. Since that time, the firm has grown in both size and stature. Today, we are a multi-office, multi-discipline engineering firm with an international presence. Our unique history has led us to establish a culture that focuses our energy and our passion on our clients, our projects, and our staff.

Culture and Values

The essence of our culture lies in our focus on excellence, prioritizing profession over business, and the desire to build strong, enduring relationships with our clients and KPFF employees.

Our core values of Excellence, Trust, Relationships, Stability, and Passion are the foundation for everything we do at KPFF. These values influence our approach to our professional practice, how we are organized, our commitment to our clients and our employees, and how we regard the people who are KPFF. Our dedication to these values has created a culture that is well-defined and unique. Our culture is our guide for how to approach one another and our profession. After 50 years in the consulting business, we have figured out who we are and what works best for us, which includes constantly evaluating how our values inform our approach to our professional practice. We are proud of our 50 year history and have a culture built on values that will help us move through our next 50 years.
