This remote working set up offered the companies some cushioning when the pandemic hit, something Ulislam is quick to point out. “We have had a lot of experience with remote working, which has come in very handy in these difficult times.” Speaking to what defines Jersey Precast’s corporate culture, Ulislam shares, “The biggest asset and the greatest thing we have going for us is our A-Plus team. The leaders we have, and even in second-tier management roles, our people are exceptionally talented, dedicated, and hardworking.” Besides talent, another thing Ulislam is proud of is the fact that most of the company’s senior team are lifers. He notes, “They are long-term associates of the company – career professionals who call our company home. I see our senior team’s longevity as a critical factor in ensuring continuity, making it easier to reassure customers who get to work with the same team repeatedly.” Besides focusing on its workforce, Jersey Precast is also looking into ways of modernizing its operations through technology. “Pouring precast concrete is still not fully automated here in the States,” Ulislam admits, “especially the kind of work that we do, where we are not producing any repetitive products. Nevertheless, we are investing in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to integrate our company operations. We are bringing in the ERP system as a complete business and digital solution that will manage every aspect of the business.” Jersey Precast has a long and illustrious list of projects it has worked on throughout its history. The Dulles Airport Metro Rail Project in Dulles, VA is one such project. “It billed at around $20 million and was commissioned by the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority,” explains Baig. “The project includes six stations on a rail line connecting Dulles Airport to Washington DC and will be commissioned next year, once the project is handed over to the Washington Metropolitan Authority.” Hot Dip Galvanizing Experts!
