L Ja Engineering

LJA was founded in 1972 when John “Dutch” Lichliter established The Lichliter Company. In 1976, Bill Jameson joined as president, and the firm was renamed Lichliter/Jameson & Associates. The firm has evolved over the past 45 years into LJA Engineering, Inc. as it is known today. At LJA, we continue to build upon our reputation, while broadening our knowledge and constantly striving to be better. To us, there is no measure that matters more than our own drive to exceed the firm we were yesterday, and surpass our clients’ and employees’ expectations. Our history defines us, but in no way limits us. We are proud of landmark projects from our past and look forward to blazing a new path and setting the new standard. The best companies are about great people — and great people, working together, make great projects.
