Description

J. D. Hair & Associates (JDH&A) is an engineering firm that specializes in trenchless engineering and design services with headquarters located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Trenchless engineering is most closely aligned with civil engineering and is associated with construction methods such as horizontal directional drilling (HDD), microtunneling, Direct Pipe, and conventional auger boring. Trenchless construction is routinely used to install pipelines and utilities where minimal surface disruption is necessary or when conventional trenching is not practical. Founded in 1987, JDH&A was one of the first trenchless-focused engineering firms and has since been involved in some of the most significant and challenging trenchless projects ever completed. JDH&A remains a recognized leader in the specialized field of trenchless engineering and design. Our team is growing and seeking experienced engineers to join our staff.

JDH&A is a wholly owned subsidiary of Michels Corporation, a global leader in trenchless infrastructure construction. Michels Corporation is one of the largest and most diversified contractors in North America and is an industry leader in various utility and civil infrastructure sectors.
