TEAMS THAT BUILD TRUST

For 30 years, KBA has successfully managed highly visible public and private construction projects, earning the trust and respect of clients throughout our community. It's what we do. No one does it better. KBA is small enough to be flexible and responsive, yet big enough to manage large and complex projects. As 100% employee owned, we recognize our employees are our most important resource and the basis for our success. We respect and seek to empower each individual and support the diverse perspectives, skills, experiences and cultures within our workforce. KBA offers an excellent benefits package that includes health insurance, 401K Plan, holidays, paid time off (PTO), and an employee stock ownership plan. We support and further professional growth and development. We work hard, and we have fun.

Roads - Bridges & Highways - Transit

Water & Wastewater - Buildings - Land Development - Port Facilities
