For the past seven years, ENR’s 10 regional editions have honored the construction industry’s best and brightest in its Top Young Professionals competition. This year, for the first time, ENR takes the competition nationally to select ENR’s Top 20 Under 40.

For the past seven years, ENR’s 10 regional editions have honored the construction industry’s best and brightest in its Top Young Professionals competition. This year, for the first time, ENR takes the competition nationally to select ENR’s Top 20 Under 40. The road to selection for these 20 outstanding leaders of today and tomorrow began with a call for entries in late 2016. More than 400 individuals were entered in that round from all walks of the industry in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. Next, panels of industry judges were assembled in each of the 10 regions and up to 20 winners were selected to represent that region in early 2017. You can find profiles of those winners in each regional magazine. Finally, a brand new panel of judges reviewed the top-scoring regional candidates to pick a national Top 20 list that represented the pinnacle of leadership skills, community service and diversity of the construction industry. Note that all of the candidates were under 40 at the time of their initial regional award in early 2017. The winners include engineers, architects, entrepreneurs, academics, contractors and owners. Submitters provided information on work experience, industry leadership activities, efforts to improve the built environment and service to the broader community.
