SAN DIEGO, California (March 30, 2022) – The Kleinfelder Group, Inc. (Kleinfelder), a leading engineering, design, construction management, construction materials inspection and testing, and environmental professional services firm, has partnered with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) within the company and the AEC industry as a whole.
As a champion of diversity, SWE’s vision is a world with gender parity and equality in engineering and technology. They empower women and allies to succeed as engineers, scientists, and technologists and inspire the next generation of leaders in STEM. Recognizing the importance of inclusion and unity, SWE is an organization for all genders.
As a member of SWE’s Corporate Partnership Council (CPC), Kleinfelder will provide support for SWE and its programs, offer guidance on the current employment landscape, act as a consultant to SWE leadership, share insight and industry trends, and promote opportunities for women and allies in the engineering and technology workforce.
Kleinfelder President and CEO Louis Armstrong explained that Kleinfelder partnered with SWE because many of the principles that guide the organization’s initiatives closely align with Kleinfelder’s values of diversity and inclusivity. He noted, “Kleinfelder is working to sustain a culture that recruits, develops, advances, and retains talent that reflects the diversity of the communities in which we live and work. While empowering women as engineers and leaders, SWE embraces diversity in its broadest interpretation and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all. By partnering with SWE, we can unite in thoughtful action to achieve an even better work environment for our employees and create meaningful change within our industry.”
As the industry continues to evolve, Kleinfelder intends to be at the forefront of building a more inclusive and equitable future for all AEC professionals. In addition to having far reaching impacts, the company’s efforts, which are spearheaded through its DE&I committee (Kleinfelder Spectrum), have created a work environment where bright people thrive and progress, and diverse perspectives lead to innovative and sustainable solutions that benefit clients and the communities they serve.
