KCG Engineering Group Plans Chesapeake, Virginia, Operations

11/04/2025
KCG Engineering Group, a firm specializing in advanced technology solutions for defense and government clients, plans to establish operations in Chesapeake, Virginia. The $185,000 project is expected to create 60 jobs.

The investment will include the consolidation of the company’s Hampton Roads facilities.

“This expansion is far more than a new facility; it’s a strategic investment in innovation and our future in Hampton Roads,” said KCG President Mike Klett. “Our state-of-the-art Chesapeake headquarters will be the hub where we continue to deliver advanced technology solutions that optimize performance and enhance mission success for our clients. We deeply appreciate the support of the Commonwealth of Virginia and our local partners, whose collaboration is vital to KCG’s ability to ‘Create the Future’ and sustain our rapid growth.”

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with the City of Chesapeake and the Hampton Roads Alliance to secure the project and will support KCG’s job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, which provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs in order to support employee recruitment and training activities. As a business incentive supporting economic development, VJIP reduces the human resource costs of new and expanding companies. VJIP is state funded, demonstrating Virginia’s commitment to enhancing job opportunities for citizens.

“For companies like KCG, there is truly no better place to do business than Hampton Roads,” noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Juan Pablo Segura. “With a world-class workforce and a strategic location adjacent to key infrastructure, KCG’s new headquarters will allow the company to continue its track record of growth and success for many years to come.”

KCG Engineering Group provides program management, technical expertise, information technology, and engineering services, primarily for U.S. Navy and other Department of Defense (DoD) related customers. The company’s services include systems engineering, cybersecurity, program and project management, information technology, and broadband and municipal consulting.

“KCG Engineering embodies the kind of innovation, technical excellence, and mission focus that define Hampton Roads’ economic future,” added Hampton Roads Alliance President & CEO Douglas L. Smith. “Their expansion reinforces our region’s role at the intersection of defense, technology, and national security—fields where Hampton Roads leads with both capability and purpose. We are proud to celebrate KCG’s continued investment and their contribution to the strength of our regional economy.”
