LeCraw was recently announced as a winner of the 2020 Best Firms To Work For Awards, honoring the best architecture, engineering, planning, environmental and construction firms (AEC) firms to work for in North America.

Based in Duluth, LeCraw was ranked #14 amongst civil engineering firms across the country. This is the third time in as many years that LeCraw has been named to this list.

“We strongly believe in taking care of our employees, and they in turn take care of our clients,” said President Mark LeCraw. “I’m extremely proud of the culture of leadership and growth that we’ve built, and being named to this list is proof that it’s working.”

Firms were evaluated comprehensively on firm culture, workplace practices, employee benefits, employee retention rates, professional development, and more, from both management and staff perspective. The annual contest yields over 2.3 million benchmarking data points on everything from culture and values, career opportunities, and leadership in the AEC industry.

“With recruitment and retention continuing to be the greatest challenges for firms, this contest, the only national best places to work for the AEC industry, is more important than ever,” said Chad Clinehens, CEO of AEC consulting firm Zweig Group, who host the awards. “Add the current pandemic to the mix and it is even more critical for firms to find measurable ways to reinforce their culture and the good things they are doing and creating. Celebrating an award like Best Firms To Work For does just that and infuses positive energy into the environment.”
