Is your company a Top Workplace for Engineers? Nominations are open

Nominate your company for a 2026 Top Workplaces for Engineers award. Winners will be announced in the spring.

Engineering.com is excited to launch its second annual Top Workplaces for Engineers program, recognizing companies that prioritize positive and sustainable work environments for engineers. Last year, we acknowledged 35 companies that exemplify a people-first workplace culture where engineers can thrive and innovate. Once again,  we’re teaming up with Energage, the HR technology company behind the Top Workplaces employer recognition program, to discover more companies that should be at the top of your list of potential employers. Whether you’re a mid-career professional looking to move to the next level, a new graduate trying to decide on the best companies to pursue, or a student looking for a specific field of engineering study, this program is a go-to resource for you.

To be eligible, participating companies must employ at least 35 engineers or have an engineering workforce comprising 10% or more of their total workforce. The award is based on employee feedback captured by the confidential, research-backed Energage Workplace Survey. Participating companies will be evaluated against the industry’s most robust benchmarks based on more than 18 years of culture research.  

The award will honor companies that create exceptional workplace environments for engineering professionals across various industries, and we will publish the list of winners in the spring of 2026.


If you believe you work at a company that deserves such recognition and meets the criteria, nominate them at: engineering.com/topworkplaces. The nomination period runs through mid-January, but submit your nomination much sooner, before the busy end-of-year season kicks in with full force.
