STV has been recognised as Employer of the Year by the WTS Greater New York Chapter, underscoring the firm’s sustained efforts to build an inclusive workplace and champion the advancement of women across the transportation and infrastructure sectors.
The award was presented at the chapter’s annual meeting and awards dinner, celebrating organisations that demonstrate measurable impact in recruitment, professional development, mentorship, and leadership growth.
Recognition Rooted in Inclusive Growth
The Employer of the Year distinction honours companies with a strong track record of hiring and promoting women, supporting continuing education, and fostering mentorship and internship opportunities.
For STV, the recognition reflects a long-term strategy focused on cultivating equitable career pathways and ensuring representation at every level of the organisation. The firm’s approach integrates leadership development programs, cross-functional collaboration, and structured mentorship initiatives aimed at strengthening engagement across project teams and regional offices.
Leadership Perspectives on the Achievement
Commenting on the recognition, Iris Giboyeaux, CCM, ENV SP highlighted the collaborative culture embedded within the organisation and acknowledged the dedication of teams that support talent development initiatives.
Asal Khanbilvardi emphasised the role of mentorship and professional growth in strengthening community engagement within the transportation ecosystem. Marcos Diaz Gonzalez further reinforced that advancing women in transportation is not a standalone initiative, but a strategic priority aligned with the firm’s long-term growth vision.
Strategic Significance for the Transportation Sector
The award signals broader momentum within the transportation and infrastructure industries toward inclusive leadership frameworks. As infrastructure projects grow in complexity and scale, organisations are increasingly recognising the value of diverse perspectives in driving innovation, stakeholder engagement, and sustainable project outcomes.
By embedding inclusion into workforce development strategies, STV positions itself not only as an engineering and consulting leader but also as a catalyst for systemic change within the sector.
Advancing Sustainable Leadership
The recognition by WTS Greater New York Chapter reinforces STV’s commitment to empowering women, expanding professional opportunity, and investing in sustainable leadership pipelines.
In an industry undergoing rapid transformation—driven by digitalisation, resilience planning, and large-scale infrastructure modernisation—diverse leadership is becoming a defining element of organisational strength. Awards such as this highlight how forward-looking firms are shaping the future of transportation not only through engineering excellence, but through inclusive workforce development.
