Who We Are

Learn more about Keentel Engineering.

We’re not just engineers—we’re problem solvers, system thinkers, and quiet revolutionaries helping power the future.

Across the United States, our 21-member electrical engineering team shows up every day to bring certainty to complexity. We’re licensed. We’re seasoned. And we’re divided into three groups, each doing what they do best:

The Designers (6 engineers):

They turn lines into lifelines. With tools like AutoCAD, Revit, ETAP, PVSyst, and CAD 3D, they translate ambition into design—calculating, modeling, and detailing systems that work the first time.

The Grid Whisperers (7 engineers):

These are your PSCAD, PSS®E, and DIgSILENT experts. They speak the language of large-scale power plants and grid dynamics—ensuring your project plays well with the utility and the future.

The Watchdogs (8 engineers):

They live and breathe compliance. From OSHA and NFPA 70 (NEC) to NERC and FERC, they make sure your systems are bulletproof—ready for inspection, audit, and everything in between.

We’re not chasing every job. Just the right ones—the ones where precision matters, where compliance isn’t optional, and where experience makes all the difference.

This is what we do. This is who we are.
