BINGHAMTON — McFarland Johnson, Inc. (MJ) — a Binghamton–based planning, engineering and construction administration firm — announced that its Aviation and Bridge Design Group in Binghamton has grown with the recent addition of six employees in newly created positions.
The staff additions were needed to meet an increased volume of projects in the aviation and bridge sectors of MJ’s practice, Ruthanne C. Bulman, human resources manager at McFarland Johnson, tells CNYBJ. “This growth is a result of MJ’s innovative and dynamic approach to airport planning and application software development; accelerated bridge construction capabilities on bridge replacement projects; and proactive support to clients with grant application process, project planning and engineering design, all the way through to construction administration,” she contended in an email.
MJ, which was founded in 1946, has a total of 145 employees in nine office locations. In Binghamton, its Bridge Design Group currently has six employees, while the Aviation Group has grown to 15 workers, according to Bulman.
