The recognition serves as validation for a firm that has spent the year codifying its internal values amidst a period of expansion. With a current headcount of 21, the company added five new employees over the last twelve months. Leadership notes that defining these cultural touchstones—such as acting with courage and grounding decisions in facts—is a proactive strategy to maintain team cohesion as the business scales.
GB Connections Named a 2026 Best Place to Work by Hart Energy
Ninety-four percent of the staff at Houston-based GB Connections say the company’s culture empowers them to produce their best work. This high level of employee engagement, coupled with a commitment to transparent communication, helped the engineering firm secure a spot in Hart Energy’s inaugural Best Places to Work list for 2026.

Robert L. Kovar, President and CEO, views the award as a reflection of daily behavior rather than static policy. Internal survey data underscores this, with 100% of participants confirming they possess the autonomy to make independent decisions and that the firm maintains full transparency regarding financial matters. For GBC, which specializes in semi-premium OCTG connection solutions, the goal remains to preserve this environment while continuing to scale its engineering operations.
