SCOTT KELLY

Inspired by:
His dad and his dad’s late best friend, who always emphasized one simple principle: show up on time, do your very best, and the rewards will follow.

Really enjoys:
Spending time outdoors with his wife, a nature photographer. Scott carries the camera bag while they explore parks, backroads, and beyond.

Favorite thing to do in KC:
Discovering attractions and hidden treasures around Greater Kansas City.

With more than 30 years of experience in construction testing, inspections, and geotechnical engineering, Scott Kelly brings a calm, capable presence to every job site. His career spans multiple states and a wide range of projects, backed by Professional Engineer licenses.

Scott’s known for making sure clients get exactly what they need to keep projects moving, whether it’s a timely inspection report or requirements in project specifications. He’s equally respected for his ability to guide younger geotech professionals, sharing what he’s learned to help them grow in their careers.

One milestone that shaped Scott’s approach to leadership was returning to school later in life to complete his engineering education. By then, he had more field experience than his advisor, giving him a unique perspective in the classroom, and a lasting appreciation for the balance between academic theory and real-world application.
