JEO Consulting Group

We had a great time celebrating alongside other local organizations at Lincoln's Best Places to Work event last week.

We're grateful to be recognized among the top three organizations in the Large Company category. But even more meaningful is the culture our team continues to build together. To our amazing team—thank you. You’re what makes JEO a great place to work.

We were honored to attend the 2026 ACEC National Engineering Excellence Awards Gala in Washington, D.C., where two of our projects—North Fork Riverfront Development and Metropolitan Avenue at I-635 Bridge Replacement & Interchange Improvements—were recognized among outstanding projects from across the nation.

This recognition reflects the talent, collaboration, and commitment of the teams who brought these projects to life.

Attendee Jon Marburger, our Director of Quality Assurance, shares his thoughts about the gala. “We are really proud of the team,” he says. “It’s amazing that no matter how large or small the project, excellence matters in every detail.”

“Seeing how excited and proud everyone was of the work we all are doing is a testament to how important it is,” adds Kevin Kruse, JEO Water Resources Senior Project Manager who also attended.

Thank you to our partners, clients, and project teams for helping make these achievements possible.

Hard water is more than a nuisance—it affects daily life. In David City, Nebraska, residents dealt with mineral buildup, reduced cleaning effectiveness, and dry skin. The City’s 40-year-old lime softening plant worked hard to improve water but struggled as it neared the end of its useful life.

The City turned to us to provide a solution, and in the end, they selected a closed-circuit reverse osmosis system—the first such system in a municipality in Nebraska.

As we celebrate Drinking Water Week, explore what this system is and how it delivers cleaner, safer, and more reliable water for the community—and how it’s already proving to be well worth the investment. https://ow.ly/Sl7K50YVxCF

We’re excited to see Cunningham Commons officially break ground at Lake Cunningham!

This project builds on a beloved outdoor destination, expanding access and year‑round outdoor recreational opportunities for the Omaha community. We’re proud of our landscape architecture team for leading the design and grateful to be working alongside so many great partners to help bring this vision to life.

What a great night at the ACEC Nebraska Engineering Excellence Awards Gala!

We’re proud to share that three of our projects were recognized at the event.

🏆 North Fork Riverfront Development in Norfolk: Honor Award with Distinction AND the People’s Choice Award as voted on by attendees!
🏆 Capehart Road Reconstruction and Construction Services in Gretna: Merit Award
🏆 David City Water Treatment Plant Upgrades: Honor Award

These projects are a great example of how our work contributes to stronger, more vibrant communities.

Another special moment of the night came when our CEO, Rob Brigham, received the 2026 Charles Durham Achievement Award! 👏 This is a huge honor and a reflection of his leadership and commitment to engineering in Nebraska.

Thanks to ACEC Nebraska, our clients, and everyone who helped bring these projects to life. We’re grateful to be part of such meaningful work that is making an impact across the state.

In October 2022, a wildfire changed the landscape—but it did not change the community’s deep connection to this place.

The Sandhills Discovery Center grows out of the legacy of the 4-H Camp at Halsey, shaped by the people and stories that have long defined it. In the wake of the Bovee Fire, this project reflects a shared commitment to restore, remember, and reimagine what this place can be for future generations.

Trails, gathering spaces, and structures take their cues from the landscape itself—woven into the terrain, not imposed upon it—creating an experience that feels inseparable from its surroundings.

Speaking to Sandhills Express, Jana Jensen, Nebraska Community Foundation Fund Development Coordinator, shared “From the very beginning, it was evident that something needed to be put into place to replace what was gone. This is an opportunity to do something bigger, bolder, better.”

We’re proud to be leading the design on a project that will welcome entertainment, recreation, and connection in City of Fremont, NE.

Grounded in how people already live, gather, and grow, the Fremont Amphitheater in John C. Fremont City Park is shaped by everyday life.

The venue brings together a performance stage, support spaces, and native landscaping. A defining feature, the weathering steel scrim wall etched with Fremont’s historic plat map, is a nod to the city’s roots.

This is how community comes to life: by creating spaces where people can gather, connect, and belong.

As Wahoo, Nebraska, continues to grow, so does the need for available childcare close to home. Recognizing that need, JEO helped spark a conversation, bringing together local leaders and experienced child development professionals to turn an idea into action.

What followed was a truly collaborative effort across the JEO family of companies, from design and development through construction. The result is a 6,800-square-foot facility built to serve up to 80 children.

The Project Future Child Development Center officially opened on March 9, 2026. It represents a commitment to families and a meaningful step toward a stronger future for the community.

During Community Development Week, we’re proud to highlight a project where partnership and purpose came together to make a lasting impact.
