It's always a great day when we can bring our teams together.⛳
Last week, we gathered for our Town Hall at Topgolf to hear about what's ahead for J2, celebrate our successes, and connect with colleagues from across our offices.

Events like these remind us how important connection, culture, and teamwork are to everything we do.🤝

Help us welcome Emily Brice to J2 as our newest Landscape Designer I!🌳

A graduate of Purdue University, Emily is excited to collaborate across disciplines and contribute to larger-scale projects that help shape communities. She was introduced to J2 through a former classmate who interned with us and was drawn to our location, culture, and opportunities for growth.

Originally from Lafayette, Indiana, Emily enjoys playing the cello, birding, writing poetry, and going for runs. She also has a calico cat named Topaz!

We're excited to have Emily on board and look forward to seeing the impact she'll make as part of our amazing J2 LA team!

Mental health is important year-round, and as we reflect on Mental Health Awareness Month, we're continuing the conversation.

During the month of May, we asked employees across J2 to share the habits, activities, and advice that help them recharge, manage stress, and maintain balance in their daily lives. Their thoughtful responses highlighted the many ways we can support our mental well-being, whether it's spending time outdoors, connecting with loved ones, pursuing hobbies, or simply taking a moment to reset.

At J2, one of our core values is People First, and we're grateful to everyone who contributed their experiences and insights. We wanted to share some of their responses in our latest blog and continue fostering a workplace culture that supports both personal and professional well-being.

🔗Check out the blog to hear advice and perspectives from members of our team.

At J2, living out our core value of People First means recognizing the importance of supporting not only professional growth, but personal well-being too. During Mental Health Awareness Month, we asked employees to share the habits, activities, and strategies that help them recharge, manage stress,....

The 2026 VTCA-VDOT Cost Estimation Summit brought together transportation professionals from across Virginia to discuss trends, challenges, and innovations shaping transportation infrastructure projects throughout the Commonwealth, and J2 was glad to be part of the conversation.

Sessions covered topics including SMART SCALE Round 7, risk-based estimating, ROW and utility considerations, and emerging technologies impacting project delivery and budgeting. One emerging topic that stood out was VDOT’s upcoming integration of AI into the cost estimation process, along with continued enhancements to estimating tools and resources.

A highlight of the summit was the I-81 construction site visit, which provided a firsthand look at the coordination and construction efforts behind major transportation improvements.

Thank you to the organizers and presenters for a great event!

Please join us in welcoming Suzanne Geary-Henderson to J2 as our new Talent Acquisition & People Experience Manager! 🎉

In her new role, Suzanne is excited to support and grow our talented team, partner with leadership and hiring managers, and create a positive experience for both candidates and employees alike. She also enjoys building processes, improving collaboration, and helping foster a culture where people genuinely enjoy working together.

What drew Suzanne to J2 most was our people and culture. She shared that J2’s collaboration, professionalism, and commitment to employees made it feel like a place where she could contribute immediately while continuing to grow professionally.

Outside of work, she’s a huge dog lover and is actively involved with animal rescue organizations. She and her family have two English Bulldogs and their newest Frenchie/Pitbull puppy named Craig. 🐶

Full circle moments like this are what it’s all about!
This month, J2 Civil Engineers Jacob and Zabih returned to Virginia Tech for the final presentations of students they mentored throughout the semester as part of the Land Development Design Initiative (LDDI) program.

Throughout the semester, the students worked through the design process for a real-world project originally completed by J2, developing their own site designs with guidance from industry professionals along the way.

What makes this especially meaningful is that both Jacob and Zabih were once part of the same LDDI program during their time at Virginia Tech before beginning their careers at J2. Now, they’ve come full circle, helping mentor and inspire the next generation of engineers.

We’re proud to support programs that connect students with real-world experience and mentorship opportunities.
