LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, June 8, 2022 –
From humble beginnings 25 years ago, Wright Engineers has matured into the nation’s number 1 ranked best structural engineering form to work for 5 years in a row. Today, buildings large and small from border to border and coast to coast benefit from Wright Engineers’ work.
The company was founded in Las Vegas in 1997 by Brent Wright, who had just completed the Stratosphere Tower and other high-profile Las Vegas projects. Brent cobbled together some used office equipment, brought his computer from home, and set up shop in a small three-room office with faded blue carpet and a roof that leaked whenever it rained. “Thanks to a strong economy, a bunch of talented, hard-working people, and lots of happy clients who kept coming back for more and bringing their friends, we paid off the loan and even turned a small profit by the end of our first year,” said Wright.
Wright Engineers grew quickly, eventually expanding into California, Arizona, Utah, and Texas, becoming a regional structural engineering powerhouse. Brent’s vision for the next 25 years: Continue expanding eastward and become a premier national firm—all while maintaining our “best firm to work for” culture.
Wright Engineers is an 80-person structural engineering firm with offices in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Dallas, and Orange County, California. Principals of the firm are licensed in all 50 states.
The Zweig Group has named Wright Engineers the number 1 best structural engineering firm to work for in the U.S. and Canada 5 years in a row. Wright Engineers specializes in providing structural engineering services for industrial, multi-family, office, retail, hotel, and medical buildings.
