Now in its ninth year, ENR Southeast’s annual Top Young Professionals program—previously known as Top 20 Under 40—continues to highlight the region’s up-and-coming industry leaders. And this year’s class of high-achieving construction and design professionals is impressive.
Hailing from across the entire Southeast geographic area, the Top Young Professionals showcased here have a broad range of experience as well as interesting personal stories and backgrounds. There’s a globe-trotting project manager and a company executive who was forced to step up in the face of a corporate crisis. A project leader and lean advocate who “stumbled” into construction after studying landscape architecture on a lark. A trenchless technology expert who traveled the world and then led the largest project of its kind back in North America.
