Chicago, Illinois (June 27, 2024) — PFES, a premier provider of strategic consulting services for the Energy and Utility sectors, continues its rapid growth with recognition by Engineering News-Record (ENR) as one of the Top 50 Program Management Firms 2024. This is the fifth year PFES has been recognized with this honor, climbing to #24 in the 2024 rankings. Additionally, ENR recognized PFES as one of the largest US Construction Management / PM-for-Fee Firms, rising to #46 for 2024. According to ENR, ongoing labor challenges are being faced across the AEC industry along with higher construction costs and a pressure to reduce project risk, increasingly leading more owners to turn to firms like PFES to weigh project costs, seek savings, and improve collaboration. “We are proud to be recognized as one of the top program management firms by ENR,” said Tim Simmerly, CEO of PFES and President of its parent company, The Planet Group. “PFES' dedication to a safety-first culture and innovative consulting solutions is providing value every day to the execution of our clients' capital programs. None of this is possible without our employees. I want to thank them for their hard work and their continued commitment to our mission of becoming the leading PM / CM advisory and consulting firm in the Utility sector." Founded in 2012, PFES has managed billions of dollars in capital projects related to Power Generation, Power Delivery and Natural Gas Distribution.
