Jered C. Reinking is the founder and President of JLR Civil, Inc. with 18 years of experience as a civil engineer. Mr. Reinking has a great breadth and depth of experience in many aspects of the field of civil engineering, other technical disciplines, and related management. His civil engineering career began in private sector engineering consulting where he worked as a project engineer on significant civil engineering projects throughout Northern California. Although he enjoyed the work that large engineering corporations offered at the time, his curiosity about the clients he served led him to seek out a practice in public sector government with the goal of obtaining a more complete perspective of the civil engineering industry. The move was a successful endeavor. Mr. Reinking achieved his public sector government goals, and last served the public as the Director of Transportation and Public Works for a Northern California county just prior to starting up JLR Civil, Inc. Appreciative of his career experience, Mr. Reinking has become well versed in administration, management, project development and engineering from “both sides of the counter”.
Mr. Reinking’s civil engineering experience has included land use and development, environmental clearance/compliance, traffic and safety, transportation planning/programming/funding, permitting, engineering, surveying, right-of-way, construction management, operations management, and general administration. As a practicing licensed civil engineer, Mr. Reinking’s direct responsibilities have included project management and engineering roles ranging from major highway design to local road widening and new construction, signalization, realignment, reconstruction, drainage design, site layout design and grading, general road repair and maintenance, storm damage, and bridge projects. All have been in various phases of project development. As a project manager, engineer, or lead, Mr. Reinking has personally designed, coordinated, completed and seen into construction, and/or performed direct construction management of an extensive list of projects. As the head administrator and engineer of the Department of Transportation and Public Works, his knowledge of government processes in support of the development of plans and projects is a significant compliment to his overall effectiveness as a civil engineer.
Mr. Reinking was born and raised in Sacramento and takes great pride in being a native Northern Californian. Throughout his career, Mr. Reinking has been fortunate that his professional work has been dedicated to developing and delivering civil engineering projects within the region where he has grown up. When not at work, he enjoys spending time with his wife, two daughters, and the rest of his family and friends. He also enjoys golfing, exercising, riding bikes, and is an avid sports fan.
