Why choose Burns?

Employees Say

“At Burns, there’s never a dull moment. That’s in part because of the complexity of our projects and because we place such heavy emphasis on quality control, keeping each other accountable. The process makes us all better engineers... As someone who values professional growth, Burns is the place to work.”

Ahmed Salih

Electrical Engineer, Orlando, FL

“My experience at Burns has been equally rewarding. I love our group so much. They’ve taken me in fully. Plus, everybody I work with has become a mentor, providing information I sometimes don’t even ask for. It’s a really healthy dynamic we have here, a very inclusive organization. In order to move forward, everyone has to work together.”

Maria Stahley

Project Manager, New York, NY

“As a young engineer, I know I could get pigeonholed pretty easily by doing the same type of work over and over. Instead, at Burns, I’m getting a variety of design and construction experience, across multiple disciplines.”

Michael Anderson, PE

Mechanical Engineer, Philadelphia, PA

“One of the things I love about Burns is I really do feel like I have people in my corner, championing me and my career, allowing me to grow.”
