arrangements, and 87 percent of those with remote options embrace it, working from home an average of three days per week. Flexible work options are more than a temporary trend – they are an expectation in today’s job market. For firms aiming to attract and retain top talent, telecommuting presents a strong competitive advantage. Offering flexibility not only appeals to candidates with similar job offers but also communicates an understanding of modern work-life balance expectations. In an industry that has traditionally required physical presence, the shift toward remote work reflects the AEC sector’s adaptability and forward-thinking approach. A NEW ERA OF WORK. Despite media narratives suggesting that remote work is fading, the reality in the architecture and engineering industry looks very different. Zweig Group’s data shows steady adoption of telecommuting policies, with firms realizing that offering flexibility can increase job satisfaction, boost productivity, and support recruitment efforts. While some high-profile companies in other sectors may be pushing for a full return to the office, architecture and engineering firms remain largely committed to flexible options that benefit both firms and their employees.
