Our people are our most valuable assets. Their dedication, creativity, and hard work drive our success and innovation. By investing in their growth and well-being, we ensure a thriving and dynamic workplace where everyone can reach their full potential. Together, we build a stronger, more resilient organization that can adapt to any challenge and seize every opportunity.

–Ryan Schanhofer, PE | President & CEO

KL has a family and friend orientated mindset – even up through leadership. I quickly built personal relationships with my coworkers. Those friendships evolved into playing sports together, going out for a drink after work, or hanging out on the weekends. I definitely appreciate that about KL.

I have a lot of fun at work. We take our work seriously, but we’re very serious about having fun while we do it. We genuinely like each other and care about what happens both in and outside of work.

One cool thing about KL is they let us branch off and work on projects for our community. We’ve done Kids Building Wisconsin nearly every year since it started, which is a weekend event to help engage the next generation of builders. I’ve also participated in Engineers Without Borders, helping design and ultimately build water facilities for our community in Guatemala. Having a company that encourages that and gets behind those extra projects is pretty cool.

I value what KL stands for in terms of having a strong work-life balance. That’s something that’s always been communicated really well here. If I need to leave early for a doctor’s appointment or get sick or am moving, they’re willing to work with me to have flexible hours. It allows me to do the things I want to do and helps make sure I don’t burn out, so that I’m able to continue to be productive at work.

Jamie Dalheim, PE

Infrastructure Services

I really enjoy the people I work with and I’ve worked with most of my immediate peers for now the better part of a decade. Work is work, usually stimulating, sometimes not, but always more fun due to the people around me. I help with our Adopt A Highway clean up each year and I attend the KL volleyball and softball games.

Matt Regnier, PE, PTOE, RSP₁

Infrastructure Services

I know there are a lot of decisions [KL Management] can make that are in the best interest for the company. But they really try to make decisions for the best interests of the employees and their families, which I believe is appreciated by everyone here.
