JEM is a premier marine construction firm specializing in dredging, jetty and breakwater construction, dam/spillway maintenance, shoreline stabilization, and more across Washington, Oregon, and beyond.

The transaction was led by the ACT Capital Advisors deal team, including Jeff Jones (Managing Director) and Ivan Trindev (Vice President).

“We were honored to advise the McAmis team through this process and find a strategic partner that will preserve the culture, people, and legacy they’ve built-while opening doors to new growth opportunities,” said Jeff Jones, Managing Director.
