Sargent & Lundy advanced to No. 22 on Engineering News-Record’s list of the Top 500 Design Firms in the U.S. and maintained its No. 3 ranking among the top 20 design firms in the power industry. The overall ranking marks the firm’s fourth consecutive year of upward movement in ENR’s flagship design rankings and underscores its continued leadership in the power and energy sector.
Additionally, the firm again earned strong positions across related ENR lists, including No. 14 on the Top 100 Pure Designers and No. 26 on the Top 50 Designers in International Markets.
“Behind every ranking is the work our people do every day,” said Sargent & Lundy Chairman, President, and CEO Victor Suchodolski. “Their commitment to delivering high-quality solutions and finding innovative ways to solve complex challenges is what sets us apart and keeps our clients coming back.”
ENR’s Top 500 Design Firms report ranks the 500 largest U.S.-based engineering, architectural, and environmental design firms based on design-specific revenue and provides a widely used benchmark for performance across sectors such as power, transportation, buildings, water, and industrial markets. The Top 20 in Power list draws from the same data to highlight firms with significant design revenue in the power sector.
