Hillis-Carnes Engineering Associates Inc. has opened its first office in New Jersey, seeking a stronger local presence in a region where it has served clients for nearly two decades.
According to a news release, the firm has planted roots at 400F Corporate Court in South Plainfield while also hiring Jason Joines as the regional manager for its Northeast region. He’ll spearhead the launch of the new office and lead the team spearheading Hillis-Carnes’ growing portfolio of New Jersey projects, drawing on more than 25 years of experience in geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing and inspections, facilities engineering services and environmental consulting services.
Newmark’s John Crawford represented the Hills-Carnes in its new lease in South Plainfield.
The firm, which is based in Annapolis Junction, Maryland, noted that it has provided consulting engineering services within New Jersey for more than 18 years. Its recent projects in the region include the four-building, 72-acre HRP Hudson Logistics Park in Jersey City, a 153,180-square-foot warehouse development in South Kearny and a 304,119-square-foot warehouse and office building in Camden’s Cramer Hill neighborhood.
