At KLH Engineers, our team of engineers, surveyors, and drafters works on projects that ensure safe drinking water gets where it needs to go, wastewater is properly treated, and stormwater stays under control. Since 1982, we’ve partnered with numerous municipal clients across Pennsylvania, delivering top-notch services in water, wastewater, stormwater, and general municipal engineering. We bring creativity, technical excellence, and practicality to every project, ensuring our engineering solutions not only work but also make life a little easier for everyone.

Why KLH?

• We’ll give you the space to do what you do best—be an engineer. You won’t be expected to act as a salesperson, and we’re not hung up on accounting metrics or KPIs.
• We’re big enough to tackle complex, high-impact projects in-house, but small enough that your ideas won’t get lost in the shuffle.
• You’ll work alongside a smart, collaborative, and genuinely supportive team.
• We offer a flexible work schedule.
• You’ll have the opportunity to see projects from concept to construction and start-up, and won’t be pigeonholed into doing the same task day after day.
• We believe in investing in our people through mentorship, continued learning, and opportunities for growth.
