DENVER, Colo. (May 1, 2026) -- PCL Construction Enterprises, Inc. has been named one of Denver Business Journal’s 2026 Best Places to Work, ranking No. 4 in the Extra Large company category. The annual list is based on anonymous employee survey results measuring trust in leadership, engagement, communication and overall workplace satisfaction.
The recognition follows PCL’s inclusion on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list, marking the 17th year the company has earned the national honor--underscoring a long-standing commitment to a people-first culture across the organization.
“This Best Places to Work recognition speaks directly to who we are at PCL,” said Ryan Schmidt, vice president and district manager for PCL’s Denver office. “Our culture is built on relationships, shared ownership and a belief that everyone has the ability- and responsibility to lead. That’s what drives engagement, pride and long‑term success across our teams.”
Over the past year, PCL teams delivered and advanced high-impact projects across the Denver metro area, including the completed 16th Street Revitalization, continued progress on Summit House at Metropolitan State University of Denver and the Westminster Boulevard Drinking Water Facility. Summit House is on track to become the tallest mass timber student housing project in the United States and the tallest in the Mountain West, while the Westminster Boulevard Drinking Water Facility is an innovative water infrastructure project serving the region.
Beyond project delivery, PCL employees continued to strengthen their connection to the communities where they live, work and play. Through partnerships with Mile High United Way, Habitat for Humanity, Make-A-Wish Colorado, Judi’s House and Boys & Girls Clubs, teams volunteered their time, raised funds and supported initiatives that meaningfully enhance the communities they serve.
“Our culture is shaped by shared ownership and shared responsibility,” said Jamie Safulko, area manager for Denver’s civil division. “Across the Denver region, our teams are delivering complex work that directly impacts how people live, move and connect. As a 100% employee-owned company, our people are invested not only in each other’s success, but in the long-term strength of the communities we serve.”
From career development through PCL’s College of Construction to comprehensive benefits and wellness resources that support employees at every stage of life, PCL remains focused on the whole employee experience. That commitment continues to foster strong engagement, collaboration and long-term success.
As the company looks ahead, PCL remains focused on investing in its people, delivering meaningful work and making a positive impact in the communities it serves.
