The Hartford Business Journal has named VHB the #1 Best Place to Work in Connecticut for 2026 in the Large Companies category. This recognition spotlights VHB’s commitment to creating an exceptional employee experience while delivering impactful outcomes for our clients and communities.
The Best Places to Work Program evaluates organizations based on employees’ views on job satisfaction, career development, and company culture—including engagement, retention, teamwork, communication, and benefits. VHB prioritizes a flexible work environment, promotes professional growth, creates a people-focused culture, and maintains a generational company model. Our dedication to our people drives our success and enables us to deliver integrated, sustainable solutions that improve mobility, connectivity, and quality of life throughout Connecticut communities.
Investing in our people has driven tangible success in our growing Connecticut office. Several recent high-profile project wins, such as the CTDOT Consultant Liaison Engineering Services (CLE) for Bridge and Structure Design and the Connecticut Riverfront Revitalization Project, are due in part to our talented team’s shared purpose, extensive experience, and established client relationships.
“This recognition is meaningful because it’s a direct result of how our employees view their experience here at VHB,” said Connecticut Managing Director John Hapkiewicz. “We’re proud of this team and are grateful for their passion and commitment to partnering with our clients and improving our communities.”
