GHD climbs ENR global rankings as growth accelerates in the United States
GHD has strengthened its position among the world's leading design firms, rising to #26 in Engineering News-Record's (ENR) Top 150 Global Design Firms ranking for 2026, up from #29 last year.
Published annually by Engineering News-Record (ENR), the rankings are based on design companies’ annual revenue globally, providing a widely recognised benchmark of performance across the global engineering, architecture and construction industry.
GHD also moved up to #9 among international firms working in the United States, improving from #10 in 2025. The company continues to expand its presence in the USA, with recent mergers with ADA Engineering in Florida and Bowman Engineering & Consulting in Texas.
"Our growth priorities in the Americas are clear: water, energy and transportation, with the United States as our biggest opportunity. What has changed over the past few years is how deliberately we pair organic growth with the right mergers,” said Chris Hunter, GHD’s CEO Americas.
As client expectations evolve and projects become more complex, GHD continues to invest in new ways of working and delivering value.
"The change I am most proud of this year is not a number, it is how we have reorganised to deliver as one connected firm. We have evolved our operating and delivery model so we can connect our regional capabilities with global opportunities, drawing on the best of our people and bringing them to a client's project regardless of where they or the work sits. In parallel, we are standardising and optimising how we design and deliver, so the quality and experience are consistent wherever a client engages us. Put simply, we have made it easier for our people to do their best work together — and that is the foundation everything else builds on,” Chris concluded.
