Safety - It's at the
Core of Our
Culture.

Safety is the responsibility of everyone at JHL. Team Members are empowered and obligated to adhere to JHL’s Safety Program and immediately report any newly identified hazards, incidents, or accidents. This strong foundation strengthens JHL’s Culture of Safety.

Our approach requires a genuine commitment to Doing The Right Thing – Always. Our Team’s proven track record has received recognition including the Platinum Level National Safety Training and Evaluation Process Award from the Associated Builders and Contractors. We are also active participants in MSHA’s Certified Safety Mine Professional Training Program and are a Blue Level Partner in OSHA’s CHASE Program.

More importantly, our commitment allows for every JHL individual to remain safe so they can return home at the end of each day.

Employees +
Relationships = Success

At JHL, our employees and their families are first. We recognize the importance of a balanced life, a fun workplace, and the opportunity to grow a career in a supportive environment.

'All In' Culture

Everyone counts and contributes. Our culture is embodied through our daily interactions.

Our People = Our Culture

We share our successes. We share our challenges. Get to know members of our team.

“The JHL Team’s commitment to ‘doing the right thing’ was exemplified throughout the actual construction process….However, the planning work that JHL did in advance, along with their focus and desire to ensure our district’s projects were done in a timely and quality manner were instrumental in delivering a high-quality product our district and community are all proud of.”


Jeremy Burmeister, Ed.D

Business Services Director / Platte Valley School District

“Partnering with JHL has been such a great experience for Cherry Creek School District. They took a personalized approach with myself and my team. …JHL researched, investigated, and gave us great answers and guidance throughout the process. I couldn’t have asked for more! It was a wonderful experience for our entire community.”

“The work was performed in a total quality manner, and the jobsite was always kept clean. I appreciated the pleasant attitudes of your team and thanks to their direction, the project was completed on time and within budget. It was a pleasure working with JHL and I would highly recommend your firm for future healthcare work.”


Bill Foulkes

“Speaking as the owner, this project was a definite challenge and it was important that our laboratory did not lose a day of production. JHL achieved this goal, which certainly wasn’t a small accomplishment. Thanks again for completing this very technically difficult and demanding project in the manner you did.”
