Best to work for

Mead & Hunt is 7th best mid-size firm to work for.

Mead & Hunt, a leading architectural, engineering, and planning consulting firm, was recently ranked by CE News as seventh among the mid–size civil engineering firms to work for in 2009, and 14th overall out of the 100 firms that competed this year.

Firms apply for these honors annually, with a portion of the information collected from anonymous employee satisfaction surveys. 

“We applied because we are confident that Mead & Hunt is a great place to work,” said Raj Sheth, CEO.  “Still, it is rewarding to have our employees confirm our success in meeting our goals for client service, business practices, and the way that we care for our employees.  The survey also presents us with a great opportunity to identify areas where we could make some improvements.”

Mead & Hunt employees enjoy a company culture that is client-focused, team–oriented, and collaborative, enhanced by a family atmosphere.  Employees gave the firm highest marks in the areas of leadership through the present challenging economy, ethical business practices, and communication of the firm’s business goals and strategic plan to the employees.  A remarkable 95 percent of Mead & Hunt employees would recommend the company to a friend who is looking for a job.

Mead & Hunt, Inc. provides professional services in architecture, historic preservation, transportation, infrastructure, and water resources engineering to clients throughout the US.  Mead & Hunt was recognized as one of the fastest rising architectural and engineering firms by the Zweig Letter Hot Firm list; the corporation remains strong on Engineering News Record’s Top 500 design firm list with a current rank of 240.  Mead & Hunt is employee-owned with more than 400 people in offices nationwide.
