Engineering delivered
by people.
We believe engineering is about more than technical delivery. It is about people working together, sharing knowledge, building trust and creating strong relationships that help complex work move forward.
With over 160 engineers across our business, people shape every part of how we work. From the way we support our teams to the way we collaborate with our customers, people shape every part of how we work. We take the time to understand the goals, challenges and pressures behind each project, building relationships that allow us to deliver with confidence, clarity and accountability.
It shapes the way we work with each other, the way we build relationships
with our customers, and the standards we hold ourselves to every day.
For us, integrity means being honest, dependable and accountable. It means doing what we say we will do, communicating clearly, and taking ownership of the work we deliver. That mindset helps create a culture where people are trusted, supported and encouraged to do their best work. It also shapes the relationships we build with our customers — relationships based on openness, reliability and a shared commitment to getting things right.
Social value means looking beyond the work we deliver and recognising the wider role we can play as a business.
We are proud to support causes and communities that matter to our people. This includes fundraising for selected charities through team challenges such as charity bike rides, as well as taking part in wider community initiatives throughout the year.
As a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant, we are committed to supporting the Armed Forces community, including those transitioning from military life into civilian careers. It is part of our wider commitment to creating opportunities, supporting people and contributing in a meaningful and practical way.
We also work closely with Bournemouth University, creating opportunities to connect with students, support early careers talent and help graduates take their first steps into engineering.
The KDC team recently took on an incredible fundraising challenge in support of Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, bringing colleagues together across two events – a 160-mile charity bike ride and the 5km Seaside Scramble.

A culture shaped by
our people
Our culture is built around trust, ownership and high standards. We support people to do good work, take responsibility and keep developing, because complex engineering depends on more than technical knowledge.
For our customers, that means working with people who stay accountable and care about the result. For our people, it means being part of a business where your contribution is visible, your development matters and the work has purpose.
From supporting the Armed Forces community and early careers talent, to backing causes chosen by our teams, we are committed to building a business that delivers well and contributes beyond the work itself.
Find your next role
Whether you are an experienced engineer, early in your career or considering your next move, we are always interested in hearing from people who want to be part of our team.
