Jack Janney founded WJE in 1956 as Janney and Associates, a one-person engineering consultancy. More than sixty-five years later, WJE has evolved into an international interdisciplinary company that has been called upon to solve some of the world's most challenging construction-related problems.

WJE's Core Ideology is the unchanging cornerstone of our success. It includes our Mission, our Vision, and our Values—the why, the how, and the what of our existence and the foundation of our culture.
