History
JMT has evolved significantly over the past four decades.
The firm was originally founded as a Professional Association of
partners and associates in 1971 by Charles Johnson, Michael
McCordic and Bruce Thompson under the name of Johnson,
McCordic & Thompson, P.A., in Silver Spring, Maryland. The
company focused on the areas of planning, engineering, and
surveying for residential and commercial projects. In 1978, a
second, similar private development office opened in Fairfax,
Virginia.
In 1979, Fred Mirmiran joined the partnership with the goal of
expanding into the public works market by focusing on
transportation engineering for Federal, state and local public
agencies. In 1980, JMT expanded its public works market into
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and the name of JMT was
changed to Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson. Throughout the 1980s
and early 1990s, JMT developed into a multi-modal transportation
firm providing infrastructure improvements for:
- Highways and Bridges
- Aviation
- Rail and Transit
- Marine
- Pedestrians/Bicyclists
From the mid-1990s, JMT continued to diversify our markets to
include services for:
- Buildings and Facilities
- Water/Wastewater and Utilities
- Federal Programs
- Information Technology
Today, JMT provides consulting services to a varied client base
of public and private entities. This diversification of
markets and services has resulted in considerable geographic
expansion, which has allowed JMT to provide services across the
United States.
Our Accomplishments:
We have provided planning, design and construction management

philosophy of the firm, exceeding client expectations with the

success. A successful project is achieved by thorough analysis
supported by individual attention and the extensive professional
and technical experience of dedicated employees.
We at JMT are proud of our 40 year history. We look
forward to the next 40 years.
