In 1972, Hector Jacques and Mike Whitford became the original Jacques Whitford team with a simple promise: to understand your business better than anyone in our industry, and deliver customized, value-added solutions that meet your needs.

They set a standard - to be exceptional in our commitment to clients. Thirty-five years and more than 100,000 client solutions later, Jacques Whitford continues to do things in precisely the same way. With our team now more than 1,600 strong, we are one of North America’s largest firms of environmental engineers, scientists and consultants focused on solving environmental issues.

Jacques Whitford is employee-owned, with shareholders selected by their senior colleagues. This underlies the character of our firm, and assures our clients of our independence and objectivity.

Our recipe for business and professional success has always been simple. Jacques Whitford has built our reputation on finding exceptional people who have genuine passion for what they do and an insatiable appetite to understand and satisfy clients. We empower and support them to be the best they can be, and we settle for nothing less than service and solutions that exceed client expectations. Our personnel, from senior consultants to technical support, are driven by this focus.

We’re proud of the way we do business. With more than 40 offices across North America and internationally we measure our success by the trust and loyalty of our clients. 85% in repeat business is the best measure of our success.
