“What’s kept me coming back to Qk4 each year is the people. My mentors genuinely invest in my growth, and I’ve always felt like I belong here. Rotating through different disciplines has helped me find my place in Civil/Site, and I’ve loved being part of the team.”

“During my summer internship at Qk4, I rotated through several departments and got to be involved in real projects — from transportation to site design. I learned directly from project managers and staff who were always willing to answer questions and let me contribute. I gained so much over the summer that continuing into the school semester was an easy choice.”

“I started my career at Qk4 as a co-op and have been fortunate to grow alongside the company for more than 30 years. It’s been incredible to watch Qk4 expand and transform while still staying true to what makes us special — investing in new talent and giving people real opportunities to succeed. What’s most rewarding for me is knowing that the work we do has a lasting impact right here in my home state of Kentucky.”

Survey Team
University of Kentucky, Class of 2025
“From the start of my internship, the Survey team welcomed me into real, hands-on work. I was able to learn from people with a wide range of expertise, which gave me a strong foundation right away. What really drew me in was the mix of technical problem-solving and the chance to be out in the field, and having that balance is what made me want to stay with Survey full time.”
