KES is a locally owned small business that employs a highly skilled team that consists of 200 working professionals. Here at KES, we pride ourselves as an Equal Opportunity Employer that employs a diverse staff for many different roles throughout our company. All KES employees reside within the State of Arizona.
As a locally owned and operated business, KES understands its duty to source and procure local resources. It is through these local business dealings that we support our neighbors and help retain strong communities. In sourcing locally, KES believes this allows for the money to remain in the local economies allowing for the creation of jobs, as well as funding for schools, police departments, and fire departments. When contracts create the need for additional personnel, KES prides themselves on sourcing local pool of talent and hiring to support a contract town’s people.
KES is very proud of the small, yet powerful, business that has been built over the last 42 years. We pride ourselves in maintaining the small business mindset and realize not all receive the same opportunities. When we are able, it’s our duty to be good stewards in the community and give back by taking care of those less fortunate and ensuring our neighbors in our communities do not go without.
