Zweig’s annual list recognizes the top architecture, structural engineering, civil engineering, environmental, geotechnical engineering, landscape architecture/planning, and multidiscipline firms in the United States and Canada. As part of the qualifying process, company employees complete surveys, and the firm’s management answers a questionnaire about values, culture and benefits.
“We are very proud to be among the best firms to work for again this year. This recognition reflects feedback from our employees about our work environment and the opportunities we provide for their professional growth while serving our clients. This award is indicative of the fantastic culture created by JQ staff in all our offices,” said JQ’s CEO Stephen H. Lucy, P.E.
