As we mark our 25th anniversary, we're thrilled to celebrate another milestone with our 25th intern, Halie Collins. During her time with us, Halie made significant contributions as an intern on our fuel team. After graduating, she has gone on to achieve great success and now works as a Solar Staff Engineer at Invenergy LLC. Halie’s journey from intern to industry professional exemplifies the growth and development we strive to foster at JWI. We're proud to have been a part of her career path and look forward to seeing her continued success. Here's to 25 years of nurturing talent and driving innovation! #Chicago #Denver #Orlando #construction #aviation #transportation #constructionmanagement #projectmanagement

Biggest Challenges: "Transitioning between industry work and academic studying was tough. Finding a balance has been essential." JWI's Support: "The encouragement and tips from my colleagues, especially those who are PEs, have been invaluable." Looking Forward: "I'm excited to take on more responsibilities and apply my knowledge and experience to problem-solving in the engineering industry."

We are halfway through the year which means it is time to recap our monthly celebrations! This year is special, as we are recognizing 25 years of business, and we celebrate this milestone differently each month! In January, we had customized 25th-anniversary cookies, which were a hit even with the puppies. In February, we relaxed with in-office massages, followed by our March Madness event. We made customized charcuterie boards in April and indulged in some sweet treats. However, our cocktail contest in May could’ve been one of the favorites! After months of planning, it was finally time to gather for our Soiree in June. Hosted at Navy Pier, we enjoyed amazing food, drinks, and lots of dancing. It was an unforgettable night, and we are so excited for what is to come throughout the rest of the year! Thank you to those who have helped us celebrate! #Chicago #Denver #Orlando #construction #aviation #transportation #constructionmanagement #projectmanagement
