Your path should be as rewarding as your destination.
Your career path is an important part of life’s journey. Not just for the material rewards, but for opportunities to stretch and be challenged professionally, personally and creatively. To excel and to be accountable for excellence. To feel good about what you are doing in a great work environment that attracts similarly talented, skilled people.

The best people attract the best clients and the most rewarding professional challenges.
We pride ourselves in attracting and retaining professionals with the brains, technical capabilities, creativity and ‘can do, will do’ attitude that our clients expect. We’re eager to gain clients with the most challenging problems and the highest expectations.  When we exceed those expectations, clients continue to bring their challenges to us.

Stay client focused and results driven.
The dedication of Jacques Whitford personnel to client service is legendary. We believe this zealous dedication separates us from the pack of otherwise competent consultants. We spare no effort to listen and learn from our clients, to understand their businesses and needs and to then apply all our creative and intellectual energies to meet them. Nothing supersedes client service in our business hierarchy.

Know where you want to go, and how you intend to get there.
We don’t believe success is an accident waiting to happen. Our goals come from knowing who we are and what we aspire to, and the environment around us - a far-reaching forward vision based on an honest appraisal of our strengths, challenges and opportunities.   We are then more likely to attain our objectives through thoughtful strategic planning and determined actions. In our world, the only plan worth having is a plan we intend to achieve.

Recognize all contributions to success.
A job should provide the possibility to earn more than a paycheck, and exceptional people should expect exceptional returns on their effort. We therefore recognize and reward all the ways our employees contribute to our success. Jacques Whitford is also 100% owned by employees. We offer outstanding professionals the opportunity to be nominated as Jacques Whitford shareholders, to help chart the course of our firm and share the benefits of our consistently strong performance. We’re in this for the long run, and for those who make the long run possible.

Our team is more than a collection of individuals.
A team is capable of more than the sum of its parts. Collaboration is the best way to foster creativity and to meet challenges. We encourage teams within and between disciplines and geographies. Time and again, we have seen extraordinary results come from groups with complementary skills and experience by challenging and supporting each other to find the best solution.

When people are your greatest asset, treat them as such.
If you’re getting the idea that Jacques Whitford is a high-performance, high-expectations kind of organization, you’re right.  We are driven to succeed. But we also appreciate that, when your career is on the high wire, balance is essential.  We’re in this for the long haul and realize that our people are our most essential asset. Valuing and supporting them includes providing progressive tools, professional development and benefits. We also understand that any company, no matter how large, is an extended family. How we treat each other as colleagues and employees defines our culture and affects our organization’s morale and effectiveness. 

We are responsible for our actions today and their effects tomorrow.
We believe that all organizations have responsibility to accept the core principles of sustainable development – to meet the needs of the present without compromising those of future generations. A truly sustainable enterprise takes an active approach to sustainability and endeavors to enhance environmental, social, cultural, economic and human rights conditions. We are working hard to exemplify these approaches throughout our organization and to make sustainability the lens through which we add value to all our client services.


Jacques Whitford thrives because we continue to grow our firm based on these core principles. Whether you are a prospective client or colleague, we hope you will conclude that Jacques Whitford is the type of organization you’d like to work with.

Although we try hard to live up to our principles and values, we know there is always room for improvement. We seek and listen closely to client and staff evaluations, understanding that our reputation is on the line every day. Ask us for access to people within and outside our organization who will share their Jacques Whitford experiences with you.
