Milhouse Engineering and Construction, Inc. Earns Triple Accolades as Top-Rated Workplace 

Chicago-based engineering firm receives high praise in civil engineering, construction, and diversity support categories 

CHICAGO, IL (January 16, 2024) – Milhouse Engineering and Construction, Inc. (Milhouse) proudly announces the reception of three high rankings based on reviews from the women of Milhouse on the InHerSight platform, a leading company reviews platform. Millions of working women rely on InHerSight to inform their career decisions, leveraging data from over 150,000 U.S. companies. Achieving the coveted titles of the #1 Best Civil Engineering Company to Work For, the #2 Best Construction Company to Work For, and the #16 Best Company for Support for Diversity, Milhouse distinguishes itself as a trailblazer in creating an inclusive and supportive workplace. Notably, the platform highlights Milhouse’s highest ratings for equal opportunities for women and men, support for diversity, and women in leadership roles. 

Milhouse proudly claims the top spot as the #1 Best Civil Engineering Company to Work For. This accolade reflects Milhouse’s steadfast dedication to creating an environment where all team members are valued and supported. The recognition aligns seamlessly with InHerSight’s data-driven approach, as Milhouse team members have acknowledged the firm’s comprehensive efforts to promote active diversity, provide family support, ensure salary satisfaction, and encourage women in leadership positions. In the United States today, women make up only 16% of all engineers. Milhouse is close to doubling this figure with 28.2% female representation, with goals to increase this number to 40% in 2024. 

Simultaneously, securing the notable position of the #2 Best Construction Company to Work For reflects Milhouse’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace within the construction industry, as voiced by the women members of the Milhouse construction team. Milhouse has actively participated in Construction Inclusion Week for the last two years, further showcasing its dedication to promoting diversity and inclusion in the sector. Beyond workplace initiatives, Milhouse engages in community projects such as ComEd Construct. This collaborative effort with ComEd provided exposure and education for young women in the construction industry. By participating in initiatives like Construction Inclusion Week and community projects, Milhouse strengthens life skills, enhances job readiness, connects participants to valuable partners, and, most importantly, instills hope for a better tomorrow. 

InHerSight reviewers recognize Milhouse as the #16 Best Company for Support for Diversity, celebrating the company’s deep commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging. This recognition shines a spotlight on the authentic contributions of Milhouse’s women team members who actively participated in the review process, showcasing the company’s genuine efforts to foster a workplace that embraces and supports diversity in all its dimensions. Milhouse actively seeks a diverse blend of culture, background, race, gender, age, and experience, firmly believing that this diversity fuels creativity, empowerment, and progressive teamwork that distinguishes the company in its industry.
