WGI has landed at No. 409 on the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s 2026 List of Tampa Bay’s Largest Employers, placing the firm among the top 500 organizations on a list that spans more than 1,000 businesses, nonprofits, and government entities across the region.
A Regional Benchmark for the Local Workforce
The list includes employers that collectively employ over half a million people across Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sarasota counties. It’s compiled through Tampa Bay Business Journal research and employer-submitted data, and this year’s edition reflects an expanded research methodology developed in coordination with more than 40 sister publications under the American City Business Journals network. That shift added over 1,000 additional local employers to the online rankings beyond the 75 featured in print, giving the list a broader and more detailed picture of who’s hiring across Tampa Bay.
Growth Behind the Ranking
Landing in the top 500 out of more than a thousand employers is a meaningful marker for WGI’s Tampa office, which has grown steadily alongside the region’s expanding transportation, land development, and infrastructure markets. As Tampa Bay continues to draw new investment in these areas, the need for firms with local roots and multidisciplinary expertise has grown right along with it. WGI’s presence on this list reflects the associates who show up every day to deliver on that need, from engineers and planners to surveyors and support staff across the Tampa office.
Being named among the region’s largest employers also speaks to something beyond headcount. It signals that WGI has built the kind of team clients and partners can rely on for the long haul, one large enough to take on complex, multi-year projects and still responsive enough to serve the communities where our associates live and work.
Looking Ahead
WGI is proud to be part of the workforce driving Tampa Bay forward, and we’re grateful to every associate whose work contributed to this recognition. As the firm continues to grow its presence across the region, we remain focused on hiring great people and delivering the kind of service that keeps clients coming back.
