TEAMS THAT BUILD TRUST

For over 30 years, KBA Inc. has successfully managed highly visible public and private construction projects, earning the trust and respect of clients throughout our community. It’s what we do. No one does it better. KBA is small enough to be flexible and responsive, yet big enough to manage large and complex projects. As 100% employee owned, we recognize our employees are our most important resource and the basis for our success. We respect and seek to empower each individual and support the diverse perspectives, skills, experiences, and cultures within our workforce. We work hard, and we have fun.
KBA, Inc. works on the area’s most technically challenging, complex, and award-winning construction projects:
Bridges - Roads & Highways - Transit
Water & Wastewater - Buildings/Facilities - Parks - Port Facilities
KBA’s Business Development and Marketing team supports our project managers in project pursuits and proposals and works with each department in various capacities. We are at the perfect size where the team can both specialize in what we love to do and try new things.
We are largely cross-trained in all Marketing activities and collaborate to cover all the SMPS domains of practice (research, planning, client and business development, proposals, promotional activity, and management).
We are currently seeking to add a Proposal Manager / or Coordinator to our growing Business Development and Marketing team. The ideal candidate is self-motivated, a strong writer, technically knowledgeable of AEC marketing with strong communication skills and a can-do attitude. Be part of a thriving team actively planning and delivering creative designs and solutions. The ability to anticipate and solve problems with nearly obsessive attention to detail pretty much sums up the KBA difference.
