SUMMARY:Firm of the Future: Workforce Study – Engineering’s Talent Pipeline and Future Demand
DESCRIPTION:The engineering industry is confronting one of the most significant workforce challenges in its history. This session will present new findings from the recent Firm of the Future study on Workforce\, which combines national demographic data and original research to provide a comprehensive view of the engineering talent pipeline. Drawing on sources such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics\, the study examines trends in the number of workers entering the profession\, retirements expected over the coming decade\, and the role of immigration in shaping the availability of skilled engineers. \nIn addition to demographic analysis\, the session will highlight insights from a national survey of engineering firms\, students\, and professionals across career stages. Findings reveal how motivations\, career expectations\, and employer perceptions vary across generations and between engineers and non-engineers within the firm. \nThe presentation will include commentary from ACEC Workforce Committee Chair\, Rodney Chester\, who will share perspectives and insights on how these findings translate into challenges and opportunities for engineering firms. \nKey Takeaways:\n• Understand demographic trends influencing the engineering workforce\, including education\, retirements\, and immigration flows.\n• Gain insights from surveys of engineering firms and students about motivations\, perceptions\, and expectations.\n• Explore strategies firms can use to attract\, retain\, and develop the next generation of engineering talent.\n• Hear expert commentary on the implications of the research for firm leaders and industry stakeholders. \nPresenters:\nJoesph Bates\, Senior Research Consultant\, ACEC Research Institute\nRodney Chester\, CEO & Board Chair\, Gresham Smith and Chair\, ACEC Workforce Committee \n

SUMMARY:BD in a Box: Empowering Growth at Engineering Firms
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, December 2\, 2025 from 1:30-2:30 PM Eastern \nEngineers are problem solvers\, innovators\, and builders—not marketers or salespeople. Yet in professional services\, business growth depends on relationships\, trust\, and visibility. Clients hire engineering firms because of their people and expertise. That’s why business development (BD) can’t be left to a sales team alone—it must be part of the firm’s culture. \n\n\nThe challenge? Traditional BD often feels unnatural\, time-consuming\, and far removed from engineers’ day-to-day work. \n\n\n“BD in a Box” changes that by harnessing the power of AI to make business development simpler\, smarter\, and more efficient. \n\n\nThis session introduces an AI-enabled framework that helps mid-level and senior engineering managers use AI tools to generate content\, prepare for client conversations\, strengthen relationships\, and track opportunities with ease. \n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nStep-by-step guidance to build BD habits without feeling like a “salesperson”\nReferral Source Enhancement\nAI-Powered Efficiency\n\nPresenter: Debra Andrews\, President & Founder\, Marketri LLC

SUMMARY:Designing Your Firm for the Modern Workforce: Moving Beyond the Era of “More for Less”
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, December 3\, 2025 from 1:30-2:30 PM Eastern \nOur need for a viable workforce is growing in importance. It is as much about upskilling and reskilling as it is about meeting demand. What makes this possible is our ability to lead and engage differently\, while intentionally and effectively moving beyond the limiting leadership and management habits ingrained in our profession since the 1990’s. \nIn this informative and inspirational session\, you will learn: \n\nWhy the way we currently think about employee engagement is wrong\, and what can be done to correct this\nThe emerging role of “personal agency”\, and what it means to lead in an organization (and industry) “of choice”\nThe new methods and frameworks already leading directly to a much more powerful form of next-level employee and organizational engagement known as “opt-in”\n\nPresenter: Peter Atherton\, PE\, President & Founder\, ActionsProve LLC \n

SUMMARY:The Ideal Employer: What the Next Generation of Engineers is Really Looking For
DESCRIPTION:What does the “ideal employer” look like to today’s emerging engineering talent? Drawing on insights from the ACEC Research Institute’s Workforce of the Future Study\, this session explores the attributes\, expectations\, and decision drivers that define how engineering students and early-career professionals evaluate firms. The findings reveal a nuanced picture of what truly matters: meaningful work\, transparent career pathways\, supportive managers\, flexible work environments\, opportunities for rapid learning\, and a culture that aligns with personal values. \nThis webinar will bring those data to life through a candid conversation with engineering students preparing to enter the workforce and young professionals with three to five years of experience. They will share how they interpret the study’s findings\, what influences their employment choices\, and how firms can position themselves as employers of choice in a highly competitive talent market. \nJoseph Bates\, Senior Research Consultant\, at the ACEC Research Institute will guide the discussion\, highlighting key insights from the national survey and connecting them to the real-world experiences of the panelists. Participants will come away with a deeper understanding of what the next generation wants and actionable ideas for strengthening recruitment\, retention\, and long-term engagement. \nKey Takeaways\n• Understand what students and early-career engineers prioritize when evaluating prospective employers—and how those priorities differ from previous generations.\n• Learn which factors most strongly influence attraction\, retention\, and long-term commitment\, based on national survey data.\n• Hear directly from emerging professionals about the workplace practices\, cultures\, and leadership behaviors that resonate with them.\n• Identify practical steps engineering firms can take to strengthen their employee value proposition and become an employer of choice in a constrained labor market. \nPanelists\nSardar Khanbilvardi\, Water Resources Engineering Specialist\, STV\, Inc.\nTess Sobol\, Civil Engineer Project Manager\, Kimley-Horn\nCary Wingard\, Student\, Florida International University College of Engineering \nModerator\nJoseph Bates\, Senior Research Consultant\, ACEC Research Institute

SUMMARY:ESOPs and Engineering Firms
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, February 24\, 2026\, from 1:30-2:30 PM Eastern \nWhile direct equity ownership is the most common way companies offer stock\, ESOPs provide a different structure that broadens the ownership base\, offers substantial tax advantages and establishes an efficient internal market for the buying and selling of company stock. \nJoin us to develop an understanding of how ESOPs buy stock and create a long-term financial incentive for all employees that is tied to the growth in company value.  The topics discussed include: \n\nA framework for prioritizing objectives of any ownership transition alternatives\nOwnership of shares in an ESOP\nCorporate Governance with an ESOP\nValuation requirements and current multiples for engineering firms\nIllustration of a typical ESOP transaction\nFinancing structures and capital sources for ESOP transactions\nDiscuss how other equity plans and ESOPs work together\n\nUpon completing this program\, participants will gain a practical understanding of ESOP design\, transaction basics\, governance as well as the various tax advantages used today by many engineering firms across the country. \nSpeaker: Robert Massengill\, Pilot Hill Advisors
