Careers

Why Kays Engineering?

We are a global leader in the deep hole drilling industry. Our DeHoff and Eldorado machines are used by more companies in the USA than any other brand. We have customers in 30 different countries, and 5 different continents. How do we do all of this in the middle of America’s heartland?

Culture

As a small-town family-owned business for nearly four decades, we have worked hard to create a family culture in our shop. We strive for a work atmosphere of teamwork and stability. It’s shown by the fact that over half of our employees have been with the company for 15+ years.

It’s not often you work with people who will donate their personal vacation time to a fellow employee during a sickness or family hardship. We had an employee who was out of work during chemotherapy for six months, and never missed a paycheck! All from their fellow employees donating time! We are proud to work at a place like this.

  • Health Insurance – 85% company-paid for individuals!
  • Life Insurance – company-paid $20K policy
  • Dental / Vision
  • 401(k)
