About Us
Who We Are
With more than 30 years of history behind us, we’ve seen a lot of things change in our industry and in the Oklahoma communities with whom we’ve had the privilege of collaborating. But for every advance in technology and every new and improved way of doing things, there are a few things that just never waver, including our values:
Relentless evaluation of details before each project.
Follow-through that doesn’t end when construction begins.
Creativity that doesn’t lose sight of project requirements.
Design quality and compliance review go hand-in-hand at Johnson & Associates.
Our Story
Our story began in 1988 when Tim Johnson began to envision a civil engineering firm that could operate under the same professional standards he held closely as his own: attention to the details, commitment to a project even when the status says ‘completed’, and the kind of open, honest communication that’s based on building relationships, not just signing contracts.
Tim’s experience has deep roots in Oklahoma City, where he began as a civil engineer for The City of Oklahoma City in 1976. In 1981, he joined local civil engineering firm Smith-Roberts & Associates and eventually became vice president and co-owner. When he left the firm in 1988, he stepped into entrepreneurship with little more than four employees, a handful of prospective projects, and a growing reputation for excellent work done with integrity and tenacity.
In the years since, we have grown to become a full-service engineering, planning, and surveying company with expertise in land development, transportation, utilities, hydraulics and hydrology, planning, technical assistance, construction inspection and administration, and land, title and construction surveying throughout the Midwest and across the nation.
In 2014, the company ownership expanded to include Tyler Muzny, a registered engineer, who started as an intern in 2003 as he finished his engineering degree.
It grew again in 2018 with the addition of Matthew Johnson. Matthew started as a company survey crew member in 2005 and is currently a Licensed Professional Land Surveyor, leading the growing survey department.
Today, the company continues to move confidently forward, restructuring ownership in 2021 to include urban planner Mark Zitzow and engineer Tim Johnson, Jr., as principals, and expanding the ownership team to five. Mark began his career at Johnson & Associates in 2015 and Tim, Jr., started at the firm as a survey technician in 2005.
