JR MERIT
MENUIn 1998, two “juniors” founded JR Merit on the belief that “merit”—the quality of being good and worthy—was something worth working for.
Today, our highly-skilled team of project executives, project managers, superintendents, estimators, project engineers, and union pipe-fitters, carpenters, millwrights, and laborers represent the best talent in the industry.
Based in Vancouver, Washington, JR Merit works in the Pacific Northwest and across the Western US.
The JR Merit mantra reflects our culture of personal accountability. At JR Merit, team members are empowered to offer solutions and make appropriate decisions. Each person has the courage to take ownership of any challenge and always contributes to the overall success of each project, client, and team.

JR Merit makes every effort to minimize our effect on the environment. We continually assess our impact and apply our lessons learned to each new project. We meet EPA and DEQ standards for every project and comply with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) inspections when required. Beyond simple compliance, we creatively recycle and/or resell project debris, often saving clients money rather than spending it!
We feel it is important to enrich our lives as well as the lives of those around us. We get involved with organizations that give back and help our communities.
Health and safety are our first considerations in the operation of our business and execution of our projects. We commit to preventing damage, injury, or loss to our employees and anyone on our jobsites.
Empowerment Through TrainingWe provide education, up-to-date training, and the latest resources and technology to integrate safety into our everyday operations. JR Merit management promotes and influences safe behavior and adherence to strict safety program protocols that meet federal, state, and local regulations.
Our operations and safety personnel work together as one team to find practical, economic solutions to a project’s safety concerns. JR Merit thoroughly considers employee recommendations to improve health and safety conditions and provides financial resources to correct unsafe conditions.
