What Katin Engineering Consulting does

Katin Engineering Consulting is a privately held, small engineering consulting firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Antioch, California. The firm offers a portfolio of professional services spanning environmental consulting and training, safety consulting and inspections (IIPP, RMP, HAZOP), construction and project management, energy conservation audits, water and wastewater treatment plant process engineering, process industry operator training, facility engineering consulting, technical writing (O&M manuals, PFDs, P&IDs), and public outreach. It also operates two adjacent credentialing offerings: a Chemical Engineering PE exam preparation course and EPA-authorized training and proctoring of Section 608 Freon technician certifications across Core and Types 1-3 categories.

The firm serves two primary customer segments: government agencies at federal, state (notably the California Energy Commission and Public Utilities Commission), county (Contra Costa County public outreach), and municipal (City of Oakland) levels, and industrial operators including refineries, chemical plants (Dow Chemical), water and wastewater utilities, utilities (Pacific Gas and Electric), retail refrigeration (Target Stores), manufacturing (Brooks Automation), and educational institutions (UC Davis). Its competitive positioning is anchored in DVBE, SDVOSB, and SBE certifications from the California Department of Government Services plus EPA Section 608 authorization, which together qualify it for set-aside government contracts and regulated workforce credentialing. The senior team comprises Licensed Professional Engineers, Certified Industrial Hygienists, and a Licensed Professional Geologist with over 160 combined years of operational experience.

The revenue model is project-based professional services: government contracts awarded via DVBE/SDVOSB/SBE set-aside procurement and direct industrial engagements. Notable engagements include construction management partnership work with Overaa Construction totaling $135 million in cumulative contract scope, a $40 million water/wastewater treatment plant expansion, and an energy efficiency evaluation of 150 systems across 17 PG&E sites. Reported customer outcomes include $8 million per year in cost savings from operator training reducing unplanned shutdowns, equipment failures, and chemical releases. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the firm operates without external funding, retaining full private ownership.
