WASHINGTON, D.C. — Engenium Group is proud to announce its recognition as the #5 largest LGBTQ+-owned company in Greater Washington by the Washington Business Journal. The annual ranking highlights businesses that are making a meaningful economic impact while contributing to the diversity and strength of the region’s business community.
The 2026 ranking marks another year of recognition for Engenium Group, reflecting the firm’s continued growth as a people-focused MEP engineering and technology design firm serving clients throughout Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, and the broader Mid-Atlantic region.
“Our goal has never been recognition, it’s been creating a company where talented people can do their best work and feel valued for who they are,” said Brandon Harwick, President of Engenium Group. “We’re honored to once again be recognized by the Washington Business Journal. Rankings like this reinforce what we’ve always believed: diverse perspectives make teams stronger, drive better designs, and help build out the AEC industry.“
Founded in 2011, Engenium Group has built its reputation on combining technical excellence with a people-first approach. Today, the firm provides mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), technology, fire protection, fire alarm, sustainability, and commissioning services for projects across healthcare, education, workplace, civic, federal, residential, mixed-use, and commercial markets.
The recognition also reflects Engenium Group’s ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace where employees from diverse backgrounds and experiences are empowered to grow, collaborate, and lead. That commitment extends beyond hiring, influencing how the firm approaches leadership development, client relationships, mentorship, and innovation.
As Engenium Group celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2026, the firm continues to invest in its people while expanding its impact throughout the Greater Washington region and beyond. “We’re incredibly grateful to our employees, clients, and partners who make this recognition possible,” Harwick added. “Our success is built on relationships, trust, and the unique perspectives every person brings to the table.“
