SCI Promotes O’Neill

Marion, MA – South Coast Improvement Co. (SCI) hired Gareth O’Neill as a construction site supervisor at the end of 2015, and in August 2016 he was promoted to project manager.

O’Neill gained construction work experience during supervisory and labor roles internationally, including Ireland and Australia. He began working as a plasterer and hanging dry wall. His supervisory career began as crew manager for Clifton Formwork in Melbourne, Australia. His work then expanded to the U.S., bringing him to SCI where he works out of the corporate headquarters in Marion.

Currently, O’Neill is managing a construction project at Shady Hill School in Cambridge, along with several high-profile client projects in the surrounding area.

“Gareth is a fine representative of the next generation here at South Coast Improvement,” said Tom Quinlan, president of South Coast Improvement. “For a young guy, he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table and we’re delighted to have him.”

O’Neill has displayed incredible dedication to his clients and teammates, so it comes as no surprise that he has had two promotions in less than one year.

“To me, the construction industry provides great learning opportunities, much greater than when I was a student back home in Ireland,” he said. “I could not ask for a better classroom and teachers than the team here at South Coast Improvement.”

O’Neill has made a great impact with the South Coast Improvement Company team, and has intentions of growing its list of repeat clients, as well as its reputation for committing to great work from start to finish.
