K2 Engineering

What K2 Engineering does

K2 Engineering is a Pennsylvania-based civil and structural engineering firm founded in 2002 by John Over Jr., P.E. after his graduation from Penn State University in 1984. The company provides engineering, design, inspection, and grant writing services to municipalities, residential property owners, and commercial/industrial clients across the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and beyond. With two offices (Uniontown, PA headquarters and Morgantown, WV regional office) and over 25 employees holding professional degrees, K2 Engineering serves more than 60 municipalities and operates as a state-certified third-party UCC (Uniform Construction Code) agency for building code permitting, inspection, and enforcement.

The firm's service portfolio is organized into three cores: Municipal Services (civil engineering, comprehensive planning, land surveys, highway/bridge design, environmental and wastewater engineering, construction management); Design Services (civil engineering, building design, structural engineering, land development, utility design); and Specialty Services (surveying, 3D modeling, digital rendering, drone technology for aerial and thermal imagery, and pre-engineered metal building design, sales, and construction). The company also provides grant writing services spanning eight state and federal funding programs. Technology usage centers on engineering design software, surveying tools, drone-based data capture, and 3D rendering rather than on AI/ML systems.

K2 Engineering operates a professional services business model on a project-based, quote-based pricing structure with multi-year contract cadence for municipal clients. Its go-to-market is direct, relationship-led sales: published municipal bid advertisements, project showcases, downloadable permit application forms, and direct contact through its website serve as primary channels. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The firm's competitive positioning rests on its state-certified UCC agency credentials, on-staff grant writing talent, multi-state-licensed professional engineers, and two decades of accumulated relationships across Pennsylvania and West Virginia municipal clients.
