By partnering with local DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) firms, we not only strengthen our team’s expertise but also provide valuable opportunities for smaller or disadvantaged businesses that may struggle to compete independently. Through active participation in outreach programs and compliance with local contracting requirements, JAMA consistently exceeds our goals for supporting diverse suppliers.

JAMA champions diversity, recognizing its transformative power. A diverse workforce brings a wealth of perspectives, enabling us to tackle complex challenges with innovative solutions. This not only propels our firm forward but also delivers exceptional value to our clients.

JAMA is proud of our diverse workforce

49% of our staff are minority/non-White, an often underrepresented group in the A/E/C industry. 43% of our workforce is female, outpacing the industry average of 13% by nearly 3x.

 

JAMA’s Women’s Mentorship Group, founded by our female leaders, provides a platform for open dialogue and initiatives aimed at fostering a more supportive and inclusive work environment. The group hosts quarterly meetings featuring topics and speakers on leadership, mentorship, and current challenges faced by women in our industry.

At JAMA, we believe that our people are our greatest asset. Our commitment to attracting and developing top-tier talent is reflected in our emphasis on diversity and inclusion. This not only enriches our workplace culture but also enhances our operational efficiency and ability to deliver exceptional results for our clients. By investing in our people, we ensure that JAMA consistently exceeds expectations.
