dk Engineering gives me the best possible environment to perform my work. I am given all the tools, all the software and all the support I need at all levels. Management understands that a good workplace environment is very important in creating a high-quality work product. I receive good decision-making support from senior management. Work-loads and production expectations are realistic. All the staff support each other without friction. If anything is needed to make the work more efficient and productive, it is provided to the staff.

Senior Engineer

Working at dk feels like having a second family. I joined dk 17 years ago, and many of my colleagues have been here as long or longer. It’s truly a supportive and nurturing environment personally and professionally. The company works hard to hire the best team, and not only makes sure everyone excels in their careers, but that they are high quality people. That is why all of our company-sponsored events are so much fun--like getting together for birthday celebrations, baseball games, pinball arcades and the annual holiday party. Since the time I started at dk, I’ve always taken the positive work experiences home with me; 17 years later that feeling hasn’t changed.

At dk we have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, which keeps my job interesting. On any day, I work on a subdivision, senior housing, or one of our wind and solar farm projects. Our renewable energy projects are especially fulfilling knowing that we are helping the environment.

Stacey Gella, PE

Project Manager

I enjoy working on a wide variety of projects from single family homes to large scale wind farms. One major benefit of working at dk Engineering is the decades of experience and varying points of view my colleagues bring into the office.

Andrew Duarte, PE

Associate Engineer

Having worked for dk years for 19 years, one of the greatest benefits that I never expected is its family atmosphere. Equally important to me is the quality of the work and experiences within the company. I have been lucky to be involved on some very large and very remote job sites, which can be challenging and rewarding when we overcome logistical issues. When I tell people that I fly a drone as part of my job, folks are often very interested, especially young kids. It’s very cool to know we are part of a cutting-edge team.
