We apply this commitment to our communities in which we live and work. We’re happy to give back financially and with our time and talents.

Burns & McDonnell passionately believes in improving diversity in engineering. Diversity is a moral imperative, but it also makes sense from an economic and business perspective. Studies have shown that diversity encourages innovation, steers firms and their clients towards success, and helps uncover unique solutions for challenges. With the energy, engineering and construction sectors facing the significant challenge of decarbonization in the years ahead, this is more important than ever before. We want to ensure that female engineers thrive throughout their careers, and we have been inspired by the work WES does to help them do that. Awareness campaigns and initiatives like International Women in Engineering Day are so important in showing young women what a career in engineering can look like, in debunking stereotypes, and in giving them the confidence to pursue what they enjoy.
