KDM Culture
Our diversity is what distinguishes us from any other company in the industry. Our employees come from a wide array of backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences. These differences are the foundation of our uniformity because that which sets us apart is also what brings us together.
At KDM Engineering, we have a talented group of individuals focused on helping us achieve our goals, while KDM contributes to their professional growth. We strive to support our mission and vision by attracting people who share our company values and believe in the positive impact our work has on the communities we serve.
Having an exceptional office culture is no longer an option, but a necessity. As part of our company culture, employees enjoy a flexible, relaxed work environment where they are recognized for their performance, rewarded for their hard work, and supported in their professional endeavors.
At KDM we emphasize personal growth, and we’ve created an environment where each employee is empowered to create their own path to success, with the company’s full support.

Life at
KDM Offices
In Fall 2023, KDM Engineering moved into our new headquarters at 550 W. Jackson Blvd. in Chicago, placing us at the heart of the city’s vibrant West Loop. Located right next door to Union Station, our office offers unparalleled convenience for commuters and visitors alike. The surrounding neighborhood is rich with amenities, from coffee shops and restaurants to scenic parks and riverwalk paths perfect for a midday break or walking meeting. This dynamic area reflects the energy and innovation of KDM, giving our team an inspiring environment to collaborate and create impactful solutions for our clients. Staff can take a break and hang out in our community or catch a quick snooze in one of our relaxation rooms as we have customized every detail of our new office to fit the needs of our unique team and company culture.
Our new Maryland office is located right next to the BWI airport, in Linthicum Heights, just a few blocks from other major Fortune 500 firms and close to our clients locations for project work. It is also surrounded by parks and great food options for our staff members.
A New Age Office
KDM Engineering strives to create a working atmosphere where employees can thrive in a more open, flexible environment. We believe that in the new age and style of working culture, a laidback office space leads to higher productivity, and higher productivity leads to more confident employees who are happier and less stressed.
Community Service
A cornerstone of KDM culture is giving back to our local communities through various volunteer opportunities and charitable contributions. KDM offers a community service program where employees can earn PTO for volunteering. For every 8 hours of volunteer service, employees earn 4 hours of PTO. Each year for the holiday season, KDM sponsors an employee raffle to win company prizes and donates the ticket sales to a local nonprofit chosen by the staff. KDM matches all employee ticket sales.
As part of our commitment to increasing diversity in STEM careers, many of our staff participate in local community outreach programs, mentoring and other speaking engagements, including with Calculated Genius, to help introduce underrepresented youth to engineering and other STEM fields.
