Ardurra acquired Kelly Engineers in a deal that strengthens the engineering firm's Northeast footprint. The acquisition follows Ardurra's recent purchase of Remington & Vernick Engineers and marks continued expansion under Littlejohn's ownership since early 2023.

The move adds specialized engineering capabilities to Ardurra's portfolio, which already spans more than 2,600 employees across over 120 offices nationwide. By consolidating regional expertise, Ardurra positions itself as a more formidable competitor in infrastructure and municipal engineering projects throughout the Northeast corridor.

This acquisition reflects private equity's ongoing appetite for engineering firms with recurring revenue streams and strong market positions. Littlejohn has systematically grown Ardurra through strategic bolt-on acquisitions since taking a stake last year, targeting markets with significant public sector spending potential.

The Kelly Engineers deal demonstrates how PE-backed platforms are leveraging regional consolidation to build scale and cross-sell opportunities across complementary engineering disciplines.
