AUSTIN, TX, <December 3, 2025> – Electric Power Engineers (EPE), a global engineering advisory firm providing full-spectrum consulting and innovative software solutions, announced today that it has been recognized as a Top Workplace by the Austin American-Statesman for the third consecutive year. The program recognizes the best places to work in the Austin metro area and is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by Energage LLC, an employee engagement technology partner.
“The Top Workplace award is particularly meaningful to us because it’s based entirely on employee feedback,” said Stephanie Badr, CEO of EPE. “Our culture is what makes EPE a place where people feel supported, challenged, and inspired. As we grow, we’ve made it a top priority to continue fostering a supportive and collaborative workplace culture, and this award reflects those efforts.”
EPE was also named a Top Workplace by USA Today earlier this year. The company recently reached a headcount of 500 employees worldwide, marking a major milestone in its growth trajectory and mirroring surging electrical demand worldwide. With offices in the U.S., Canada, Panama, and Lebanon, EPE’s growth reflects a strategic expansion across North America and international markets to meet global energy requirements.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
The confidential Energage employee engagement survey is designed to measure components of the employee experience, including whether employees feel respected and supported, enabled to grow, and empowered to execute. Only a small percentage of companies achieve this recognition – in 2025, only 115 companies in the Greater Austin area made the list of Top Workplaces.
