Jacob Robitaille

Marion, MA South Coast Improvement Co. (SCI) hired Jacob Robitaille as its director of production. Robitaille comes to SCI after working in a project management role at Delbrook/JKS.

In his role as director of production, Robitaille works closely with project managers and superintendents to ensure South Coast Improvement projects run smoothly and meet or exceed client expectations.

Robitaille earned his bachelor’s degree at Wentworth Institute of Technology. He also holds an OSHA 30 certification.

“I’m thrilled to be part of the South Coast Improvement team. I was very impressed with the atmosphere that Tom and Henry Quinlan have created here,” said Robitaille. “The company has experienced tremendous growth in recent years. I’m looking forward to putting my years of experience on larger projects to work and help the company continue that growth.”
