A talented group of young leaders with diverse expertise is making a major contribution to technically challenging design and construction projects across New England and beyond. Each one of this year’s ENR New England Top Young Professionals has developed multi-faceted strengths that are benefiting the industry as well as the communities in which they live.
This year’s honorees—all of whom were under age 40 as of Jan. 1—were selected from more than 30 entries from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. The panel of industry judges considered each candidate’s experience, education, leadership and community service. This year’s judges were: Karen Bala, director of design at Dyer Brown Architects; Julie Janiski, principal at BuroHappold Engineering; Ben Markham, director, architectural acoustics group at Acentech; and Julia McFadden, associate principal at Svigals + Partners.
