DOWNERS GROVE (November 24, 2020)—Sevan Multi-Site Solutions, Inc. (Sevan)—a global leader in innovative design, program management, construction services and data analytics—was awarded the 2020 Gold HIRE Vets Medallion Award from the U.S. Department of Labor.
The 2020 Gold HIRE Vets Medallion Award recognizes an employer’s effort to recruit, employ and retain veterans and is the only veteran employee award at the federal level.
“I’m proud of Sevan’s role in making these transitions successful by actively recruiting and hiring Veterans,” said President and CEO Jim Evans. “It’s gratifying to work with more than 35 veterans at Sevan, approaching 10 percent of our workforce.”
Sevan received the 2020 Gold HIRE Vets Medallion Award for meeting certain criteria including percentage of employees who are veterans, percentage of new hire veterans and the provision of programs to enhance the leadership skills of veterans.
“It is important for us to hire our veterans and build a company that mirrors their values,” said Aaron Reisinger, Senior Vice President of Operations at Sevan, who recently retired after 26 years in the Army. “It is important for them, our business, and our country.”
Earlier this year, Sevan was recognized on Inc. Magazine’s Vet100 list—a compilation of the nation’s fastest-growing veteran-owned businesses. The ranking, created in partnership with Inc. magazine and Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), was born out of the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies based in the U.S. Both distinctions are considered hallmarks of entrepreneurial success.
In 2020, Sevan was recognized as an Employee-Rated Great Place to Work® for the 7th consecutive year and ranked No. 124 on the Financial Times FT 1000 list of America’s Fastest-Growing Companies. Also in 2020, Sevan ranked No. 16 on Engineering News-Record (ENR)’s Top 50 Program Management Firms and No. 34 on ENR’s Top 100 Construction Management-for-Fee Firms.
