As a global leader in full-service engineering, consulting, construction, and operations, CH2M HILL helps its clients achieve success in any corner of the world. 
From designing the infrastructure of the 2010 Summer Olympics in London … to widening the Panama Canal … to providing operating services for Johns Creek, Georgia … the 23,500 employees of CH2M HILL offer a wide spectrum of expertise, knowledge, and services across varied industries and government agencies.

At the same time, the company supports its employees as community citizens; their concern, passion and spirit of service make a meaningful and lasting impact on people and communities around the world.

So, when the Johns Creek Police Department decided in 2009 to raise money for Special Olympics Georgia, CH2M HILL quickly sponsored the inaugural JCPD Special Olympics Golf Tournament. 

CH2M HILL employees worked closely with police, volunteering many hours to help make the tournament and other JCPD Special Olympics events successful.

It was a double win for CH2M HILL: they helped their client, who in turn helped people with intellectual disabilities across Georgia.

CH2M HILL believes in investing professional expertise, volunteer time and financial resources to address environmental and social issues that affect the communities where employees live and work.
