Primera Engineers is honored to be included in Engineering News-Record’s (ENR) annual Top 500 Design Firms and ENR-Midwest’s Top Design Firms lists for 2024. This year marks our twelfth and eleventh consecutive years on these lists, which rank the largest U.S.-based design firms based on design-specific revenue from the previous year. This year, we came in at number 359 (up 23 spots) for the National list and number 53 on the Midwest regional list, which looks at firms located in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Ohio and Michigan.

“Seeing our name on these renowned lists year after year remains a fantastic achievement for us,” expressed Erin Inman, President & CEO. “Primera’s exceptional workplace culture makes it a great place to work, and our consistent ranking among the top firms in the industry validates that we’re moving in the right direction.” The ENR recognition strongly supports Primera’s 2016 strategic planning initiatives to grow beyond the Chicagoland area. This award compliments our recent firm recognition of being on the USA Today’s Top Workplaces in 2024 list, as well as a Top Workplace for Remote Work. We now have more than 335 employees working from 20 states across the Country, with a goal for continued expansion.
