I’m pleased to share that Team UCOR has earned USA TODAY’s “Top Workplaces USA” award for 2026! This is the third consecutive year that UCOR has won this national award, and we are the only Amentum-led company to capture this honor.
UCOR also won five additional “Culture Excellence Awards” from Top Workplaces:
- Compensation & Benefits
- Employee Appreciation
- Employee Well-Being
- Professional Development
- Work-Life Flexibility
Top Workplaces recognition is based solely upon your confidential, third-party survey input about job satisfaction, recognition, and company culture. Around 40,000 U.S. companies were invited in 2025 to participate in the Top Workplaces survey process, and UCOR is one of only 219 organizations with between 1,000 and 2,499 employees to win this award.
UCOR used previous survey results to develop new employee and team recognition and compensation programs, and we are evaluating the feedback we received from you this year to continue that trend. We are assembling a cross-functional team to recommend how we can continue to build upon our Culture of Excellence that delivers industry-leading cleanup successes and enables modernization opportunities for our DOE client.
These awards are a great acknowledgement of the culture you have built, and I’m proud to be part of Team UCOR. Thanks for all that you do.
Best Regards,
Jim Blankenhorn
UCOR President and Program Manager
