Job Description

KPFF, a multi-office, multi-discipline engineering firm, is committed to Excellence, Trust, Relationships, Stability, and Passion. For over 65 years KPFF has been providing creative solutions and excellent client service for a diverse range of projects and industries. Our 1,500 professionals in 35 offices nationwide thrive in a decentralized structure, offering abundant flexibility and numerous opportunities for professional growth. At KPFF, join a legacy of excellence where every team member has the opportunity to contribute to innovative solutions and meaningful projects. We are a collaborative and creative team of civil and structural engineers and surveyors that thrives on designing innovative solutions for projects of all scales. KPFF is a leader in sustainable design, providing our clients with visionary, environmentally sensitive and technically advanced services.

The local structural division in Oregon currently consists of over 100 employees working primarily out of our downtown Portland office. We work on a wide variety of project types, serving public and private clients in land development, transportation, and municipal projects. This includes architectural-led building projects for K-12 and higher ed campuses, sports facilities, medical campuses, and mixed-use housing. In addition, we work on parks, trails, pedestrian bridges, road and vehicle infrastructure, and master planning, with a focus on sustainability in everything we do. We believe in encouraging personal and professional growth, and we work hard at providing a solid structure with minimal organizational restrictions. We have a great group of collaborative and dedicated engineers in a business casual environment located in downtown Portland.

KPFF is hiring a full-time Marketing Coordinator to join our structural engineering division in Portland, Oregon. The ideal candidate is ambitious, thoughtful, creative, and detail-oriented.
