Turner Construction’s latest employer rankings highlight the role of workforce development and employee experience in attracting engineering talent to the construction industry. The company received two national workplace recognitions, including the top construction-sector ranking among America’s Best Employers for Engineers.
Announced on October 28, 2026, the recognitions include a place on Forbes’ America’s Dream Employers list for the third consecutive year. Turner also ranked No. 1 in the construction industry among America’s Best Employers for Engineers for the second consecutive year.
The America’s Dream Employers ranking draws on surveys of U.S. college students and employees at nominated organizations. The engineering employer ranking, developed by Forbes and Statista, is based on feedback from more than 20,000 engineers evaluating workplaces for engineering professionals.
Turner identified mentorship, learning opportunities and collaboration across its global network as key elements of its approach to employee development. The company also highlighted its Active Caring culture, which emphasizes mutual support, knowledge-sharing and professional growth.
These efforts support career pathways across a portfolio of projects that includes hospitals, schools, airports and stadiums. Turner’s Chief People Officer, Aaron Wiebelhaus, attributed the recognition to employees’ commitment to helping colleagues grow and succeed.
The rankings offer an indication of Turner’s positioning in the competition for engineering and construction talent. For contractors managing complex projects, attracting and retaining skilled professionals is an important part of maintaining project delivery capacity and supporting future growth.
As construction employers face continuing demand for technical expertise, career development, mentorship and workplace culture remain relevant factors in recruitment and retention strategies.
