REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sep. 23, 2024 – DPR Construction, one of the nation’s top technical builders, was named by U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in rankings and consumer advice, as one of its 2024-2025 Best Companies to Work For: Private Companies and one of the Best Companies to Work For: Engineering and Construction.

"We can only build great things with the best teams in the industry,” said George Pfeffer, who serves as DPR Construction CEO and Leadership Team member. “Since DPR’s founding, we’ve focused on taking care of people, providing them with opportunities to learn and grow on exciting projects that shape our communities and supporting them with benefits and compensation that improve their wellbeing and their futures. We’re honored to be recognized and will continue to invest in creating an exceptional work experience for everyone at DPR.”

DPR offers competitive compensation and industry-leading benefits to its team, including those in the skilled trades. In addition to traditional benefits, like health and life insurance, augmented offerings (which vary depending on tenure and union affiliation) include holiday pay, education assistance, free access to counseling and family planning. The company also prioritizes and invests in building a culture of belonging—one where focusing on mental health is encouraged and getting people home safely is the top priority.  

U.S. News’ ratings reflect the ever-changing sentiments affecting employee decision-making when evaluating the “best” company for them. These sentiments are examined using factors that include quality of pay and benefits, work-life balance and flexibility, job and company stability, physical and psychological comfort, belonging and esteem, and career opportunities and professional development.  

The Best Companies to Work For: Private Companies list features 248 companies across 18 industries. To calculate the ratings, U.S. News only considered privately owned companies with at least 5,000 employees and had at least 75 Glassdoor reviews written between 2020 and 2023. Developed considering insights from a panel of six experts, the methodology also factors in data, including employee sentiment and regulatory enforcement data, gathered from U.S. News partner Revelio Labs.

In addition to this recognition from U.S. News, DPR has also recently been named a Fast Company Best Workplace for Innovators, one of America’s Greatest Employers and Greatest Employers for Mental Wellbeing by Newsweek, one of America’s Best Employers by Forbes, and a best place to work in more than 15 cities nationwide.
