Hilson Moran has been named Employer of the Year in the Medium-Sized Business category – and went on to take home the Overall Employer of the Year title – at this year’s CIBSE Young Engineers Awards 2025.
The awards celebrate organisations that champion young talent, invest in professional development and create opportunities for the next generation of building services engineers. Competing against industry leaders including Arup, AECOM and Savills, Hilson Moran’s double win is a testament to the firm’s commitment to learning, mentorship and sustainable growth.
Investing in the next generation
At the heart of Hilson Moran’s success is a company-wide belief that learning never stops. Through the Hilson Moran Academy, the firm delivers a structured approach to learning and development, offering tailored pathways for apprentices, graduates and early career professionals.
The Academy’s three mentoring streams – Professional Registration, Peer-to-Peer, and Technical Knowledge Coaching – ensure that employees at all levels are supported in achieving their personal and professional goals. This framework has been further strengthened through the company’s IMechE Training and Development Scheme accreditation, which commended Hilson Moran’s outstanding approach to skills development and progression.
Creating connected, forward-thinking workplaces
Beyond formal training, Hilson Moran fosters a culture of connection and collaboration through initiatives such as the Young Persons’ Forum, STEM ambassador outreach and a newly launched Emerging Talent Forum – building bridges across the industry to promote shared learning.
As an accredited B Corp, Hilson Moran also embeds sustainability and social value in its people strategy. The company’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee leads regular initiatives to ensure that everyone feels represented, supported and inspired to thrive.
A proud moment for the team
