Back-to-Back: W&A Engineering Named 2025 Best Firms to Work For

Athens, GA– Better Communities Collaborative announced today that its collective of affiliate firms, including W&A Engineering and GroundHawk, has been named a 2025 Best Firm To Work For Award, recognizing BCC as one of North America’s best firms leading the AEC industry in progressive workplace practices, employee benefits, professional development, and more.

This is the fourth consecutive year Better Communities Collaborative has been awarded this honor. Ranked both by firm size and discipline, BCC ranked 35th among firms with 50-99 employees and 67th among multidisciplinary firms.

Presented by Zweig Group, an industry leader in AEC firm management and the executive overseer of the only national “Best Firms To Work For” contest in the AEC industry, this award recognizes firms for their ability to inspire their teams to perform at the highest levels. The AEC firms selected were recognized for creating a culture where their people feel valued, can make a difference, and can see where their contributions fit into the overall mission, values, and success of the firm.

“Winning this recognition for the fourth year running speaks directly to the caliber of people we have at Better Communities Collaborative. Our team doesn’t just show up to work – they show up with purpose. Whether they’re designing a streetscape, managing a project, or supporting our operations, every single person here understands that we’re not just delivering services, we’re building better communities. That shared commitment to something bigger than ourselves is what makes this place special. I’m grateful every day to work alongside people who bring that level of passion and dedication to everything we do.” – Jon Williams, ASLA, PLA, President and CEO of W&A Engineering and Better Communities Collaborative.

The Better Communities Collaborative team is extremely honored to be recognized among the industry’s very best and looks forward to using this accomplishment as renewed inspiration for our continued efforts to develop the most progressive workplace practices, benefits, and opportunities for our growing team!
