The 20 young A/E/C industry professionals honored in ENR New York's Top 20 Under 40 competition have gone beyond the norm of excellence in their careers, showing leadership skills in their profession as well as a commitment to give back to their communities. These winners range in age from 27 to 39, and while some have similar titles, their jobs are quite different.
Many have spent their entire careers at the same firm, and many have concentrated on bringing eco-friendly alternatives to their projects. Some of the winners have experience in more than one of the design, engineering or construction disciplines, with several earning academic degrees in several fields. All have community service experience, with many volunteering as mentors for children and young adults.
