LJA is 100%
employee-owned

We say this company is ours because it is. All of our employees are employee-owners by way of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Our ESOP allows our employee-owners to directly benefit from the company’s success through both company contributions to the ESOP and company stock value changes.

LJA EVERYDAY

We’re all about creating a workplace where our employee-owners feel valued, inspired, and unstoppable!
We achieve amazing things by keeping employee-owners at the core of all we do.

LJA Cares

Giving back is part of who we are. Our employee-owners actively support our communities through fundraising, donations, and volunteering. Together, we make a difference because we care.

WAVE

Women, Advancement, and Voices in Engineering (WAVE) at LJA is dedicated to empowering and supporting women in engineering at every career stage. Through educational programs, leadership opportunities, and development resources, we aim to celebrate achievements, address challenges, and foster connections that inspire growth and success.

LJA Social

Teamwork extends beyond the office. From football to kickball, we create opportunities for team bonding through fun and engaging activities that strengthen collaboration and build lasting connections.

Anniversary Luncheon

Each year, LJA hosts a heartfelt celebration honoring our employee-owner’s contributions to the company. The event acknowledges the hard work of our dedicated staff, creating entertaining materials and a fun atmosphere.

Bring Your Kid to Work Day

Every year, we welcome the kids of our employee-owners to the office to explore the incredible work their parents do. With fun breakout sessions showcasing our expertise—from transportation to environmental—it’s a day packed with learning, laughter, and unforgettable memories!

Halloween

Halloween is always a blast at LJA! Our employee-owners go all out, dressing up and competing in our fun costume contests. From goblins to princesses, the spooky season is filled with creativity and a whole lot of fun!

Holiday Party

The holiday party is a time for our employee-owners to come together and celebrate the year! This event is a testament to our commitment to fostering a positive and harmonious workplace, where appreciation for diversity and collaboration are at the forefront.
