The LJA Story

LJA was founded in 1972 when John “Dutch” Lichliter established The Lichliter Company. In 1976, Bill Jameson joined the firm as president, and the firm was renamed Lichliter/Jameson & Associates. The firm evolved into LJA Engineering, Inc. in 2011, as it is known today.

At LJA, we continue to build upon our trustworthy reputation, adding high-level experts to our team and spearheading purpose-driven projects. To us, there is no measure that matters more than our drive to exceed the firm we were yesterday.

Employee-Owned, Employee-Led

We operate in 80+ offices across the country, bringing senior level experience to a wide range of industries and projects. Our employee-owners are driven to grow, and that drive is what fuels our continued success.
