Integrated Design - A key factor in achieving that success is Integrated Design, our interdisciplinary cross-training program for each engineer, surveyor, and drafter.

Each team member has his own area of expertise, as well as a thorough knowledge of the work done by his colleagues.

This shared knowledge base reduces wasted effort, so data collection, design, and production of deliverables are carried out efficiently and cost effectively.

And by our integrated design work processes: the extensive interdisciplinary cross training that equips our folks how to work together efficiently, reducing waste effort and streamlining the design process.

The Company - OJD was founded in 1981 by O.V. Johnson and his sons Jamie and Dickie. Their goal: provide west Texas clients with standard-setting, Benchmark quality service.

The People - That goal has been achieved because of our Benchmark people: professionals who are dedicated to our clients, to one another, and to our vision of excellence.

OJD was founded in 1981 by O.V. Johnson and his sons Jamie and Dickie. Their goal: to combine their superlative technical knowledge with hard work and common sense and produce a firm that offered standard-setting, Benchmark engineering service.

History - O.V. Johnson started Ober J. Engineering, a professional engineering and surveying firm, in 1981. He was soon joined in that business by sons Jamie and Dickie, and the three of them began to build a professional consulting practice the old-fashioned way, one client at a time. Their professional experience covered a broad range of civil engineering and surveying disciplines, which they offered to clients in government, business, manufacturing, construction, energy, and land development.  

In 1991, O.V. retired and Jamie and Dickie reorganized the firm as OJD Engineering.  Over the ensuing years, OJD has provided clients throughout Texas and neighboring states with a full range of design, planning, management, and surveying services.  The firm has grown from three professionals with a transit, calculator, and drafting table to thirty people in five offices equipped with state-of-the-art design, computing, CAD, and GPS surveying capabilities. Time and technology have changed many things, but OJD still strives to grow in the same way that we started: providing a full range of professional engineering service of the highest quality to all our clients.
