History 45 30+
Years Divisions
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

24 650
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 Offices Personnel
the new standard. The best companies are about great people — and great
people, working together, make great projects.

“It might seem like 1972 was just yesterday, but LJA’s come a long way from
working around Dutch Lichliter’s kitchen table. We’re very proud of the firm’s

16 100+
history. 650 personnel, 24 offices, and annual revenue in excess of $120 Million
is worth celebrating,” said Bill Jameson, founding partner of LJA.
