ENR Southwest is pleased to name its 2022 class of Top Young Professionals. This annual awards program honors 20 individuals under 40 years of age in each of ENR's 10 regions who have shown extraordinary leadership and service throughout their careers.

Firms from Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico submitted 35 entries into this year’s contest. These individuals were then judged by three primary criteria: industry experience and education; career and industry leadership; and community service and involvement.

We’d like to thank this year's esteemed judging panel for all their efforts in identifying the honorees: Ozzy Bravo, principal and Transportation & Infrastructure Business Development Sector Leader, Terracon Consultants Inc., an ENR Southwest 2021 Top Young Professional; Benjamin Mlinar, division manager, Rosendin, an ENR Southwest 2021 Top Young Professional; and Milos Vasiljevic, principal project manager, HDR, an ENR Southwest 2020 Top Young Professional.

Winners from ENR 10 regions are automatically entered into ENR's National Top 20 Under 40 contest. Judging will begin later this fall.

Our 2022 class of Top Young Professionals (in alphabetical order by last name) are listed below. Please be sure to read more about these rising young leaders in the January 17 issue of ENR Southwest.

Congratulations!
