Firms earn the Pinnacle Award for being listed on two prestigious rankings: either the 2008 Best Civil Engineering Firms To Work For or the 2008 Best Structural Engineering Firms To Work For list—which both recognize excellent workplaces and high levels of employee satisfaction—and The Zweig Letter Hot Firm 2008 List—which honors tremendous revenues growth.

The 2008 Pinnacle Award winners are listed below in alphabetical order. Most firms are civil engineering firms, although those marked with an asterisk are structural engineering firms.
