We are excited to announce a new chapter for Charles P. Johnson & Associates! Please join us in congratulating Dr. Haitham Hijazi, P.E., P.L.S., on his appointment as President of CPJ, effective August 1, 2026.
Haitham becomes only the third President in CPJ’s more than 50-year history, succeeding Paul B. Johnson, who led the firm for the past 20 years. Paul followed in the footsteps of his father, CPJ founder Charles “Charlie” P. Johnson, carrying forward the vision, values, and commitment to excellence that has shaped our firm for more than five decades.
With almost 40 years of experience in engineering and land surveying, Haitham brings extensive leadership experience, technical expertise, and a strong commitment to our clients and communities. Prior to joining CPJ, he spent eight years with Light, Elliott & Associates, Inc., before serving in senior leadership roles with Prince George’s County Government, including the Department of Public Works and Transportation.
As we celebrate this important milestone, we extend our sincere gratitude to Paul for his decades of leadership, stewardship, and dedication to CPJ. We look forward to building on the strong foundation established by Charlie and continued by Paul, while embracing this next chapter under Haitham’s leadership.
Please join us in congratulating Haitham and thanking Paul for his many contributions to CPJ.
