Denver — CH2M HILL was recognized by the Tennessee Society of Professional Engineers (TSPE) as its Outstanding Employer of the Year for 2014.

The award recognizes the volunteer efforts of CH2M HILL’s more than 170 Tennessee staff members working with organizations such as local STEM-based schools, Knox ProCorps, and local schools with the annual World Water Challenge, as well as the firm’s policies to promote professional licensing and training for its engineering staff, and recruiting and promotion policies for women and minorities.
