Sidara continues to rank among the world’s top design firms, according to the latest rankings from Engineering News Record (ENR) – a leading publication in the engineering and construction industry.

In ENR’s 2025 list of the Top 225 International Design Firms, Sidara ranks ninth overall, maintaining its position for the third consecutive year and marking 17 straight years in the global top ten. The rankings are based on 2024 revenue generated by design firms for services delivered internationally and are further broken down by market sectors and geographic regions.

Sidara’s continued presence in the top tier reflects the strength of its global network and the consistent delivery of high-impact, innovative solutions across diverse markets. Regionally, Sidara continued to perform strongly, placing second in the Middle East and sixth in the USA for the second year running. It also ranked among the top five international design firms in Africa and entered the top ten in Canada for the first time — demonstrating growing influence across key geographies.

In sector-specific rankings, Sidara retained second place globally in the buildings sector, climbed to ninth in the highly competitive transportation market, and rose two positions to sixth in the sewer/waste sector. These results underscore the group’s ability to meet some of the world’s most ambitious and complex challenges with innovation and world-leading design expertise.

Reflecting on the achievement, Talal Shair, CEO and Chairman, Sidara said: "We’re extremely proud to once again be recognized among the world’s top design firms.
