About The Company
You deserve a different kind of MEP partner—one who takes the time to understand your vision and executes it with the highest quality. One who solves problems before they start. One you actually enjoy working with. We excel at getting the job done right – and on time – by practicing the art of open and honest communication and delivering on the science of innovative engineering design. Relationships with our clients, partners and employee-owners are at the core of who we are, and we understand they’re a two- way street. In everything we do, we embrace awesomeness. Founded in 1988 with offices in Kansas City, Austin and Denver, Dialectic Engineering is a nontraditional mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering firm that brings buildings to life. With deep expertise in a range of verticals – including distribution, cannabis, multifamily, senior living and retail/restaurants – we know that true success comes when we partner as an extension of your team. We’re quick to respond and open to change. We’re forthcoming, forward-thinking, and not afraid to go against the grain to do the right thing. We look at the big picture, focusing on how people will interact with the space—and we know it’s never about us. We also believe great design doesn’t have to come at the expense of a great culture. A 100% employee- owned ESOP since 2015, we earned recognition as one of Kansas City’s Best Places to Work in 2020. We dig into every project with passion and curiosity because each of us has a personal stake in our work. Together, we’re engineering a better experience.
