Posted on: Tuesday, 25 October 2005, 12:00 CDT

WOODRIDGE, Ill., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- V3 Companies Ltd., a multi- disciplined consulting firm, is one of the top firms for civil engineers and ranks first among firms headquartered in Illinois according to a recent survey by Civil Engineering (CE) News Magazine.

According to CE News, the level of competition for the contest reached a new high this year, with close to 135 outstanding U.S. engineering firms vying for recognition. V3 Companies placed 35th in the overall results; a total of 16,091 engineers took the survey.

"At a time when attracting and retaining civil engineers is increasingly more difficult, it is very important to have a high-quality work environment," said Rob Petroelje, CEO of V3 Companies. "It is rewarding to be recognized by our employees and by external sources as one of the best civil engineering firms to work for. We value our people and do our best to affirm that they are appreciated."

The CE News "Best Civil Engineering Firm To Work For" survey is designed to recognize firms for their outstanding recruitment and retainment initiatives. Human resources managers at each company were asked to provide in-depth information -- accounting for 50 percent of the overall grade -- about corporate culture, compensation, benefits, professional development, performance/recognition, and recruiting and retention. The remaining 50 percent of a firm's overall grade was based on employee feedback.

"About three years ago V3 began its journey to be an 'Employer of Choice'. While we are honored to receive this award, V3 must continue to raise the bar so we can maintain a competitive edge," said Rich Lannon, Vice President of Human Resources.

Some notable scores from V3 employees who participated in the survey: -- I feel that I have balance in work/life issues (100%) -- I feel the firm is very ethical (95%) -- I take pride in working for V3 (92%) -- Morale is high at V3 (89%) -- There is a good relationship between workers and management (88%) For more information about the survey, visit http://www.cenews.com/ .
