We Are One Team.

We are engineers, construction management consultants, and problem solvers, but above all else, we are one team. At MBP, we don’t use the word employees. Those who work here are referred to as team members, and as a member of our team, you will be a part of a group of talented individuals on a mission to transform the built environment. MBP offers some of the most comprehensive benefits and professional development programs in the industry. We know that to be the best, we need the best people.

This commitment to team members has earned us countless awards, including recognition as a Washington Post Top Workplace, a USA TODAY Top Workplace, a Zweig White Best Firm to Work For, and a best place to work in Virginia by Virginia Business. At MBP, we work hard, but we know how to have fun too. We not only encourage our team members to maintain a healthy work-life balance but also provide them with activities and outings throughout the year, an award-winning wellness program, and various community outreach opportunities.

How does MBP support career growth and development?

Your career path at MBP is customized, not cookie-cutter. We take the time to get to know you, your strengths, and where you want to go in your career. Then we work with you to build a development plan that fits. Whether through MBP University courses, professional organization certifications, or one-on-one leadership coaching, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to sharpen your skills and grow.

Because we’re a mid-size firm, you’ll have opportunities to take on responsibility and make an impact early, something that can be harder to find at larger companies. For those newer in their career, our Emerging Leaders Program prepares the next generation of leaders, while our Entry-Level Integration Program helps recent graduates get up to speed quickly with hands-on training and mentorship.

For experienced professionals, MBP offers opportunities to take on leadership roles and contribute to complex projects that make a lasting impact. For veterans transitioning to civilian careers, we offer a supportive environment to help leverage unique skills and experience.

How does MBP support professional involvement and industry engagement?

We believe that being an industry leader means staying actively involved in shaping the future of our profession. That’s why we encourage and support our team members to engage with professional associations like CMAA, AACE, COAA, SAME, ASHRAE, VTCA, ACEC, CII, and others. From attending conferences and earning certifications to serving in leadership roles and presenting at industry events, our team shows up, and we back them with time, resources, and recognition. Many of our team members hold key positions within these organizations, and we see their involvement as a two-way street: it strengthens the industry and helps to build valuable skills and relationships.

How does MBP give back to the community?

Giving back is part of our DNA. With support from our dedicated Community Outreach Committee, we organize local and company-wide initiatives each quarter, ranging from serving meals and fundraising to school supply drives and community events. We also offer paid volunteer time so you can support causes close to your heart. Whether you’re leading a local effort or joining a company-wide campaign, you’ll have opportunities to make a real impact.

How does MBP keep team members informed and engaged?

We believe communication should be easy, open, and transparent. Company-wide town halls are held each quarter to share updates on strategic goals and financial performance, while local offices host quarterly meetings to connect teams and celebrate progress. Team members also receive weekly updates from their local offices to stay aligned on priorities. Our internal intranet (TeamNet) provides daily updates and resources, and our monthly company newsletter highlights milestones, personal celebrations, and fun happenings across offices. Whether it’s a leadership update or a birthday shoutout, we keep our team connected and in the know.

How does MBP support wellness and work-life balance?

Work-life balance is part of how we work—not just something we talk about. When needed, we offer flexible schedules and remote work options (depending on the role) so you can manage your time in a way that works for you. Our award-winning Woohoo Wellness program also supports your overall well-being through monthly wellness tips, fitness challenges, and team activities that promote healthy habits. Whether it’s taking a break for a walk or joining a yoga session, we’re committed to helping you thrive—on and off the job.
