Civil engineering firm TREKK Design Group is moving into a new headquarters and plans to hire another 16 people, the Missouri Department of Economic Development said.

The 14-year-old firm was founded by Kimberly and Trent Robinett. TREKK currently employs about 100 people spread across nine offices in four states. Sixty-three of those positions are based at its 16,300-square-foot headquarters in south Kansas City.

“TREKK is excited to be headquartered and growing in a city that puts such a strong emphasis on diversity and the development of small business,” said Kimberly Robinett, TREKK Design Group’s managing partner. “We are happy to have so much support in our mission of ‘Improving Lives across the state of Missouri and in the Midwest.’”

Because of its expansion, TREKK has been approved for more than $106,000 in state incentives through the Missouri Works program. TREKK must meet specific job-creation goals to receive the incentives.

“TREKK Design Group’s years of success in Kansas City have led to today’s announcement,” said Mike Downing, director of the Missouri Department of Economic Development. “This company really focuses on growing its community and having a positive impact on people, and the department is excited to help be a part of this most recent growth.”
