We take our role as community mentors for other diverse suppliers very seriously.

On the client side, S+B James is known for creating and implementing grassroots
diversity participation plans for projects of all sizes. But we don’t stop there. We
continually endeavor to exceed those plan’s goals for diverse and local hiring on all
projects.

For our diversity partners, we strive to bring these businesses on-board, and take
an active role in training their staff, affecting positive change in their standard
processes, and helping to ensure their satisfactory performance on the job.

Delivering Certainty Since 1977.
