This Opportunity
KEEP THE INTERNET RUNNING AND THE WORLD WORKING! At kW Mission Critical Engineering, a part of WSP USA, that’s exactly what we do.

Then, travel to project locations during construction and watch your designs being built for some of the largest companies in the world.
Do you want to work on innovative, award-winning projects, travel and see your designs being built, and enjoy an occasional game of ping-pong, lunch and learn, or after-hours’ camaraderie? Are you looking for career growth? Join our great people at our great places designing great projects.
