Clark Nexsen a Top Workplace in Hampton Roads for 2025

Clark Nexsen was named a Top Workplace in Hampton Roads for the third consecutive year by Inside Business at the annual Top Workplace Awards in Virginia Beach on August 7. Each year, employee survey firm Energage partners with Virginia Media and Inside Business to identify top employers and celebrate the best companies in Hampton Roads.

“It’s truly rewarding to see our firm continue to be selected as a Top Workplace in Hampton Roads,” said Chad Poultney, PE, LEED AP, Principal, and Chief Operating Officer. “For 105 years, Clark Nexsen has been dedicated to advancing our communities and the world through innovative and sustainable design. Our success begins with our company culture, and this award is a reflection of our employees who embody and practice our values every day to create a collaborative environment where we support, challenge, and inspire one another.” 

This marks the third year in a row that Clark Nexsen has been recognized as a top workplace in Hampton Roads since the award’s revamp. The firm was named a Best Place to Work in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 by Inside Business. Honoring its continued success as a local top workplace, it was given a Bronze Award and entered the Inside Business Best Place to Work Hall of Fame in 2011.  

“It’s wonderful to receive an award that celebrates our commitment to our employees and an inclusive environment,” said Linda Carney, Human Resources Manager. “By listening to our people, we are able to respond with the support they need, and we pride ourselves on providing our staff with impressive benefits, supporting their continued education, professional development, work flexibility, and more.”
