At Kennedy Jenks, “Trust, Service, Integrity, Diversity & Inclusion” are not hollow rhetoric or aspirations. These are deep-rooted, foundational values that represent not only principles that the firm believes in but serve as guideposts for how our firm and our employees act.

Service Excellence in service to our clients and our communities is at the core of Kennedy Jenks’ culture and what differentiates KJ from other firms. Our commitment to service began in 1919, when Clyde C. Kennedy opened his engineering practice in San Francisco and has grown over the past century.
