ASPECT Structural Engineers named one of Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers, again!
Global structural engineering firm is selected to be on a competitive list as part of the “Top 100 Employers” Project.
For the third consecutive year in a row, the global structural engineering firm is selected to be on a competitive list as part of the “Top 100 Employers” Project.
ASPECT Structural Engineers was included on the 2025 list of “Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers”, which was announced in a magazine published by MediaCorp Inc. The announcement has since made way to other prestigious publications including the Globe and Mail.
Now in its 13th year, Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers is an editorial competition that recognizes the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that offer the nation’s best workplaces and forward-thinking human resources policies. Applicant employers are evaluated across eight categories of criteria:
- Workplace
- Work Atmosphere & Social
- Health, Financial & Family Benefits
- Vacation & Time Off
- Employee Communications
- Performance Management
- Training & Skills Development
- Community Involvement
“As ASPECT continues to evolve, we are proud that our culture remains a consistent strength. This recognition reflects a team that is curious and committed to doing great work with great people. We are entering an exciting chapter as a firm, and we have been intentional about building an environment where people feel supported, trusted, and inspired to grow alongside the business."
Adam Gerber, CEO of ASPECT
The jury identified a number of reasons for ASPECT’s selection including:
- Hosts bi-weekly lunch and learns with internal and external speakers from relevant industries who share insights to support employees’ professional growth (with lunch during these sessions provided by the organization)
- Maintains a formal hybrid work policy that enables employees to work from home for up to two days per week and the flexibility to set their own work hours to accommodate life commitments, commuting, childcare needs, and more — the company also offers the option to work from anywhere for up to two weeks per year
- Takes a thoughtful approach when employees need to care for their loved ones, offering a compassionate leave top-up of 80 per cent of salary for 15 weeks
Additional highlights can be found on the Canada’s Top 100 website.
The complete list of this year’s winners is noted in the official Canada’s Top Employers Magazine.

About ASPECT Structural Engineers
ASPECT Structural Engineers is a globally acclaimed, full-service structural engineering firm. Founded in 2016, we are now a cohesive team of more than 60 engineers, fabrication designers, technicians, and support staff. Through thoughtful yet pragmatic design practices and rigorous training, the engineers and designers at ASPECT understand not only their role in contributing to a project, but also how to support the roles of others.
Many members of the ASPECT team started their careers in other disciplines, pulling from their experience working with carpenters, contractors, suppliers, or architects to contribute to a wider understanding of the value that structural engineers can bring to a project. Our team-based approach focuses on better design, improved constructability, and unwavering accountability.
From the beginning, ASPECT has been driven by the importance of true sustainability, underscoring our commitment to understanding, and educating others on the benefits of, mass timber. Beyond producing award-winning structural engineering work for everything from office buildings, to bridges, to custom homes, we also dedicate a substantial amount of time to working with other industry leaders – industry suppliers, architects, and clients – to work through new ways to design and build for the future. Our diverse team is active in markets around the world, with dedicated offices in Canada (Vancouver and Toronto), and Switzerland (Bern).
