We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our fantastic 2024 intern class! Ryan David, Julian Fulea, Kate Jewell, and Ben Kamka.

Your reflections on your time here highlighted the importance of company culture. As Julian put it, "The people and community at Kelso-Burnett are truly astonishing. Everyone is so kind, interesting, and accepting. Working here this summer was an honor and provided great experience with platforms like Bluebeam, OpenSpace, REVIT, and Procore."

Kelso-Burnett and KB Advanced Technologies are proud supporters of the IBEW Local 134 Helping Hand Fund. The Helping Hand Fund was created to help Local 134 members who are in distress due to lack of employment, financial emergencies, personal tragedies, and sickness. Since its inception, this 501c3 charitable organization has been able to assist over 400 members. In support of this great cause, some of Kelso's own Local 134 electricians attended the 12th Annual Helping Hand Benefit this past Saturday. We commend Local 134 for its commitment to its members and the supportive environment it creates through The Helping Hand Fund. 🤝 Find out more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gCRCxE6m

Members of the Kelso team recently visited the Littelfuse job site in Rosemont, IL. This 45,000 square-foot active tenant build-out was an ideal setting for Kelso to utilize Trimble technology, particularly for the layout of future light fixtures and junction boxes. The visit also offered a valuable learning experience for interns and project engineers who had the chance to engage with the field team and witness firsthand how Trimble technology enhances efficiency and accuracy.
