Diversity, Equity & Inclusion


Our industry is a remarkable one to be a part of, and together we accomplish tremendous engineering feats, truly making a positive impact on our communities and our world! The disruptors and challenges to overcome are not slowing down, and VHB’s long-term success—and the industry as a whole—will rely on diverse skills, perspectives, and life experiences to do the best level of problem-solving for our clients.

—VHB President and CEO, Mike Carragher

Advancing a Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Culture

Diversity is a core value at VHB, and we are dedicated to fostering a culture of belonging where everyone feels welcome, respected, valued, and has equitable opportunities to develop and drive their careers. People from all backgrounds and life experiences are encouraged to show up authentically as their whole selves and are valued equally. We recognize that our efforts have no end date; we will always be iterating and improving as we continue this journey.

VHB’s DEI Steering Committee supports the firm’s strategic priority of advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, both internally and externally—focusing on culture, recruiting, clients, and the industry. Our employee resource group VHB IDEAL (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity Alliance) engages employees on shared concerns and interests and promotes awareness, inclusiveness, openness, and diversity across the company.
