As an engineering consulting firm, our greatest asset is our people. As of the beginning of 2026, we have 600+ employees and plan to keep the momentum going. With a wide range of in-house expertise, we provide comprehensive support and serve as a one-stop shop for our clients’ project needs. This ability to serve so many varied needs is also possible because the team at AKS operates as just that: a team. We want to see each other succeed, creating an environment where collaboration matters more than internal competition. Sharing work across desks and state lines has helped the company grow while ensuring our clients benefit from the collective expertise of our entire team.

Beyond their technical qualifications, those at AKS tend to share a common set of qualities: creative, gritty, proactive, and always willing to go above and beyond for the client. Our team isn’t afraid to have the tough, honest conversations when it matters most, offering thoughtful guidance and keeping our clients’ best interests at the center of every decision.

The better question is: what not? AKS has grown from offering five services to 21, and we’re still expanding! Serving clients across the power, infrastructure, and land development markets, AKS aims to remain diverse and adaptable. From day one, we’ve challenged ourselves to go beyond the expected, explore new directions, and deliver more for our clients. Every project pushes us to raise our own bar, so we can be the strongest, most reliable partner for the people who trust us. Services offered by AKS include:

• Aerial, Construction, Hydrographic, & Land Surveying
• Civil, Electrical, Forest, Geotechnical, Mechanical, Structural, Traffic, & Water Resources Engineering
• Construction Management
• Consulting Arborist & Forestry

AKS was founded in 1996, and we’ve been growing ever since. That growth has been built on strong relationships and the trust we’ve earned from clients who keep coming back to us project after project.

We don’t just complete projects and move on. We grow alongside our clients by learning their goals, anticipating their needs, and finding better ways to support them at every stage of a project. By taking the time to understand the bigger picture, we are able to provide thoughtful solutions that help our clients move their work forward with confidence. This long-term mindset has opened doors to new regions, expanded our service lines, and created opportunities. At AKS, longevity isn’t luck. It’s partnership.

Originally based in the Pacific Northwest, AKS now spans across Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, totaling fifteen offices. What started as a regional firm now supports projects across the United States, reflecting both our ambition and the trust our clients place in us.

While our reach continues to expand, our people remain connected. The majority of the AKS team works in person from one of our fifteen offices, creating strong local teams with personal community ties. At the same time, collaboration extends beyond office walls. Expertise moves seamlessly across county and state lines to ensure every project benefits from the full strength of our team.
