Global re-certification reflects SSOE’s unified culture of trust, collaboration, and innovation.

TOLEDO, Ohio, April 28, 2026 — SSOE Group (www.ssoe.com), an internationally ranked architecture and engineering firm, proudly announces that it has been certified as a Great Place to Work® for 2026 – 2027 across its operations in the United States, Mexico, and India. This marks the organization’s ninth time of recognition in the U.S. and a significant milestone as SSOE achieves certification simultaneously across all three countries where it operates.

The Great Place to Work® certification is based entirely on employee feedback gathered through the Trust Index™ survey. This year, 82% of SSOE employees globally said the company is a great place to work—significantly exceeding the average for typical companies.

“Our vision is to imagine and create the future with our clients, colleagues, and communities,” said Vince DiPofi, PE, CEO of SSOE Group. “Achieving certification across the U.S., Mexico, and India demonstrates that our culture of collaboration, trust, and innovation is consistent around the world. This recognition belongs to our employees, who bring that culture to life every day.”

SSOE’s global recognition reflects the strength of its integrated delivery model and shared culture across regions. Through its Global Workforce Optimization (GWO) approach, teams collaborate seamlessly across geographies to deliver complex projects while maintaining a consistent employee experience.

Survey results highlight several key strengths across the organization:

  • 90% of employees said they feel welcomed when they join SSOE
  • 90% said they are able to take time off when needed
  • 85% said they are proud to work at SSOE
  • 86% cited that management is honest and ethical in its business practice
  • 83% stated that they would rate our customer service as excellent
  • 76% said that SSOE’s commitment to innovation and AI set us apart in the industry

“These results reinforce that our commitment to creating a supportive, flexible, and inclusive workplace extends across every location,” said Brad Rowe, CCWP, Senior Vice President of People & Culture. “Whether employees are contributing ideas through our Innovation Pipeline, collaborating globally, participating in Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), or growing their careers through structured development programs, we are focused on ensuring everyone can reach their highest potential.”

SSOE continues to invest in programs and initiatives that strengthen its culture and employee experience worldwide. These include its SSOE Connect onboarding program, expanded career development and ownership opportunities, a permanent hybrid work model, and ongoing investments in employee well-being and community impact through the SSOE Foundation.

With more than 1,400 employees across three countries, SSOE remains committed to fostering a workplace where employees can thrive professionally and personally while delivering exceptional value to clients around the globe.

ACC AI Assistant

Accelerating Project Clarity with AI-Driven Specification Search

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is SSOE’s enterprise-wide project delivery platform. We partner with the Autodesk Product team and have research access. Use of the AI Assistant allows our design teams, owners, and general contractors the ability to query the project specifications for quality, answers, and more rapid responses to RFIs, submittals, or issues.

AI Knowledge Retention

Lessons learned shouldn’t disappear when people move on

SSOE has developed a proof-of-concept to use an AI Agent to act as a Master Engineer and Architect trained in SSOE’s processes, best-known-methods, and trainings. Our data structure is being remodeled to enable better use of our proprietary knowledge to train the agent on the ‘SSOE way’.

Agentic Automation

Empowering Teams with AI-Driven Workflows

SSOE is actively piloting AI Chat large language models (LLMs) or copilots that use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to streamline both design and development tasks, transforming how our teams interact with software and each other.

By integrating chat LLM engines into platforms like Revit, we’re enabling users to prompt complex actions using simple, conversational commands. In Revit, this means automating tasks such as modeling elements, cleaning up parameter data, managing annotations and dimensions, and organizing sheets—without writing scripts. These automations and quality prompts can be shared across project teams, accelerating workflows and reducing manual effort.

Similarly, our internal Software Development Community is leveraging GitHub Copilot to expedite coding tasks. Developers can generate and refine code using NLP prompts, tapping into GitHub’s extensive Repo to move faster from concept to implementation.

Together, these tools represent a shift from traditional, expert-driven scripting to intuitive, AI-assisted automation, unlocking new levels of efficiency and scalability across our projects.

Autodesk Forma

Early-stage design modeling in extreme climates

We helped our client visualize and optimize façade design for occupant comfort—long before breaking ground through the use of the Autodesk Forma tool. It allows the designer to rapidly experiment with the building’s geometry and façade design to promote sustainability, prioritizing quality of spaces and comfort for end uses, especially in extreme climates (daylighting and microclimate analysis tools) at the project’s exact geographic location, using location-specific environmental data.

Discover how SSOE is using Autodesk Forma to improve sustainability outcomes for industrial projects: SSOE Group: Improving sustainability outcomes for industrial projects with Autodesk Forma.

Microsoft Copilot

Empowering our teams with everyday AI

SSOE is utilizing Microsoft Copilot Edge and M365 to significantly enhance work efficiency and accuracy across various departments. Copilot is accessible to all staff after training. Key areas of application include using it as a writing assistant, for idea generation, document summarization and generation, research assistant, excel assistant, programming code assistant, language translations, product comparison and data analysis. Use of Copilot has become part of the everyday life of SSOE employees who have identified key ways it can help them become more efficient with their daily tasks as well as more accurate in their deliverables.

Today, 100% of SSOE employees have taken the voluntary training and have access to Copilot Edge, achieving early our October 1, 2025 goal.

In-House Resource Planning Tool

A solution to one of the AEC industry’s toughest challenges

We found ourselves in need of a more robust tool to enhance resource forecasting and staff assignment capabilities. Instead of waiting for the perfect tool, we’re building it. SSOE’s in-house technology team has developed and piloted a tool that aims to forecast optimal staff mix and duration for new projects against existing workload to better understand capacity and manage resources efficiently. Additionally, the tool will allow teams to identify gaps to optimal staff mix.
