JCM Associates, Inc. is a family-owned commercial mechanical and plumbing contractor with 38 years of history in the DC Metro region. We have built a reputation for delivering technically complex, high-value projects for the region's top owners, developers, and general contractors - data centers, hospitals, federal facilities, high-rise residential, college campuses, and trophy office buildings - with project values ranging from $15M to $200M+.

Thirty-eight years as a family-owned business has shaped everything about how we operate. Our culture is close-knit, collaborative, and genuinely team-first - the kind of environment where people know each other, look out for each other, and take pride in the work they do together. We are based in Upper Marlboro, MD - just 20 minutes from Washington DC - in a brand-new, state-of-the-art office and fabrication facility purpose-built for the scale of work we do.

Careers are built here. Skills are developed here. People are valued here - and that is exactly why so many of our team members have stayed for 20 years or more.

If you are an experienced mechanical construction PM looking for a company where your work will matter and your growth will be supported, we would like to hear from you.
