DENVER, Colorado (April 2, 2025) Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine have recognized PCL Construction as one of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® in 2025.
This is PCL’s 16th time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at 91st place. Earning a spot means that PCL is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
The 100 Best Companies to Work For list honors companies that build a high-trust workplace environment, measured through Great Place To Work’s proprietary survey platform. Confidential feedback from more than 1.3 million employees in the U.S. is matched against HR data from participating companies. Only companies with consistently high survey responses across the 60 statements that comprise the Trust Index™ Survey are honored with placement on the list.
“As a 100% employee-owned company, this is truly a shared honor with our workforce,” said Deron Brown, PCL president and chief operating officer, U.S. operations. “Being named to Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For list for the 16th time is a testament to the dynamic culture created by our employee-owners. Today’s labor market is more competitive than ever, yet together we continue to attract top talent by offering a collaborative, supportive environment where employees can see themselves building a long-term career”
The Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For List is highly competitive. Companies are only considered for the list if they are a Great Place to Work Certified™ organization with 1,000 or more employees in the U.S. Companies are assessed on their ability to create a great employee experience that cuts across job level, business unit, race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of employee identity.
Earning a spot on the list is an important indicator of overall company performance. Companies on the 100 Best list consistently outperform the market and exceed their competitors on key business measures like retention and innovation.
“Leaders are the reason a business succeeds or fails,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “In the more than 30 years we’ve studied the workplace, our data proves that how you treat people shows up in your financial performance.”
This year’s list of winners offers compelling insights into the workforce strategies needed to thrive in the AI era.
“When you measure trust, you uncover the potential that exists in an organization,” Bush says. “Employees at companies on this list have higher levels of trust in their leaders and in their organization, unlocking their creativity, passion, and resilience.”
“Fortune is happy to have collaborated with Great Place To Work for the 28th year to recognize the 100 Best Companies to Work For,” says Alyson Shontel, editor-in-chief of Fortune. “In a difficult macro environment with unprecedented challenges, these companies seemed to navigate their organizations toward steady and positive working environments for employees. Congratulations to all who were recognized.”
This is the third year in a row PCL has been recognized as the only general contractor on the “100 Best Companies to Work For” list. So far 2025 has provided many reasons for the company to celebrate. PCL’s Southeastern Live Well Project in San Diego was recently named Project of the Year by Engineering News-Record, recognizing the project for setting a new benchmark in sustainable design and workforce development. This year also marks 50 years of PCL building iconic structures across the U.S.
