ENR New York is pleased to announce 2022's Top Young Professionals!

Every year, a group of judges from our industry selects 20 of the best among New York's and New Jersey's rising stars in construction. Then the region's highest-scoring Top Young Pros go on to the national 20 Under 40 competition. The winners of that contest will be feted at our Top Young Professionals Conference — learn more about that event here.

Before we get to the regional list, I want to thank the jurists who carefully reviewed this year's 55 candidates and selected the new cohort. They are, in alphabetical order by last name:

• Schillivia Baptiste, CEO, Laland Baptiste, and an ENR New York Top Young Professional of 2021
• Danei Cesario, Associate, SOM, and a member of both ENR's national 20 Under 40 of 2018 and ENR New York's Top Young Pros of the same year
• Guinevere Ngau, Associate Vice President, HDR, and a member of ENR New York's Top Young Pros Class of 2019
• Chitwan Saluja, Digital Technology Manager, Jacobs, who in 2020 was named to both ENR's 20 Under 40 and the New York region's Top Young Pros
