Layth Hussein, PE, is a Principal and Regional Manager of Kline Engineering & Consulting's Miami office, specializing in structural rehabilitation, historic preservation, post-tensioned concrete, and complex infrastructure projects. With more than 15 years of structural engineering experience, he leads the design, repair, and rehabilitation of challenging structures throughout South Florida and across the United States.

Layth has led the structural engineering efforts for award-winning restoration projects and nationally significant infrastructure developments requiring innovative solutions for rehabilitation, preservation, and long-term structural resilience. His experience includes the rehabilitation of Miami International Airport's Concourse D Skytrain, where he led the structural repair of deteriorated reinforced concrete while maintaining operations within one of the nation's busiest airports. He also served as the repair engineer for the award-winning restoration and redevelopment of the historic Surf Club Hotel and Residences (Seaway Villas) in Miami Beach, an innovative project that combined concrete repair, structural strengthening, temporary relocation, and new construction to preserve one of South Florida's most iconic landmarks.

His portfolio also includes the U.S. Navy's Dry Dock 5 at Pearl Harbor, a $3.4–$4.2 billion program to replace the original 1942 dry dock with a new 657-foot facility designed to support the Navy's next-generation nuclear-powered submarines. As part of the structural engineering team, Layth contributes to one of the most significant military infrastructure projects currently under construction in the United States.

Layth's technical expertise spans multistory residential and mixed-use developments, hotels, parking structures, bridges, waterfront infrastructure, government facilities, cable-supported structures, and specialty foundation systems. He works closely with architects, contractors, owners, and specialty consultants to develop practical engineering solutions that balance structural performance, constructability, durability, and long-term resilience.

He earned a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Virginia and a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Technology in Iraq. Layth is an active member of the Post-Tensioning Institute (PTI), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and the Iraqi Society of Civil Engineers.

Known for his collaborative leadership and practical approach to complex engineering challenges, Layth is committed to delivering resilient, constructible engineering solutions that preserve existing structures, advance modern infrastructure, and strengthen the communities they serve.
