For the fifth year running, WSP has ranked in the overall No. 1 position on Engineering News-Record’s (ENR) prestigious Top 225 International Design Firms list in 2025. Published by a leading industry publication, this highly anticipated annual list ranks the world’s largest design firms based on design-specific export revenue generated in the previous year from projects outside each firm's respective home country – in WSP’s case, Canada.
“This achievement is possible because of the trust our clients place in us and the dedication of our talented people,” said Alexandre L’Heureux, President and CEO of WSP. “Our strength comes from our teams’ ability to turn evolving needs into opportunities that make a real difference. We’ll keep pushing forward with solutions that create lasting value for our clients and the communities we serve.”
