HARTFORD, Conn. (March 12, 2026) – HNTB’s Connecticut office has been recognized as one of the Hartford Business Journal’s Best Places to Work in Connecticut for 2026, earning the No. 2 ranking in the large company category.

The recognition comes during a period of notable expansion for the Connecticut office. HNTB recently completed a move into a newly renovated and expanded workspace within its existing building. Over the past year, the office has continued to add talent and broaden its capabilities in response to increasing demand for transportation solutions across the state.

“This recognition reflects our incredible team,” said Jake Argiro, PE, HNTB Connecticut office leader and vice president. “We’ve experienced significant growth, and our new space is designed to support the collaboration, innovation and client service that define our work. I’m proud of the energy and commitment our people bring every day, and this honor reinforces the pride our professionals share in the work we deliver.”

The Best Places to Work program is based on confidential employee surveys and an extensive evaluation of workplace policies, benefits, culture and engagement levels. The distinction highlights the firm’s continued efforts to create a supportive environment where employee growth and client success go hand-in-hand.

HNTB’s Connecticut office expansion adds modernized work areas, enhanced collaboration spaces and capacity for its growing team of transportation professionals across various services including design, construction and program management. This investment reflects the firm’s long-standing commitment to Connecticut and its clients, including decades of delivering complex, high-impact infrastructure projects across the state like the WALK Bridge Program, the Northbound Gold Star Memorial Bridge Rehabilitation Project and station improvements on the Waterbury Branch Line.
