CenTrio Celebrated as One of Houston's Best Places to Work
CenTrio, a prominent provider of district energy solutions based in Houston, has received a prestigious accolade from the Houston Business Journal as one of the Best Places to Work for 2026. This recognition underscores CenTrio’s commitment to fostering a supportive and uplifting environment for its employees, which is primarily driven by respect, accountability, and trust throughout the organization.
In May 2024, the company introduced an initiative called "A Great Company to Work For," designed to enhance the workplace experience across various dimensions. This initiative is structured around six essential pillars: a safety-first culture, consistent and transparent communication, improved recruitment and retention strategies, ongoing learning and development opportunities, a strong corporate identity, and robust community engagement.
Anderson Lee, CenTrio's General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer, stated, "This recognition is especially meaningful because it is based on employee feedback. We are proud of this achievement and thankful to our team members for the culture they contribute to each day." Lee highlights that the active involvement of employees is fundamental to maintaining and elevating the company culture.
Moreover, Eric Miller, the Chief Executive Officer of CenTrio, reflected on this achievement during a recent Town Hall meeting. He emphasized the importance of creating a workplace where employees feel valued and respected for their contributions. “We aim to make CenTrio a fantastic place to work, where motivation, innovation, and collaboration thrive,” Miller remarked.
The Houston Business Journal’s Best Places to Work program employs employee survey data gathered by Quantum Workplace across various company sizes to determine rankings. The final rankings and honors will be revealed at the Best Places to Work Awards luncheon scheduled for November 5, 2026.
