South Coast Improvement Company (SCI), a design-build general contractor serving New England, the Mid-Atlantic states and down the coast to Florida, recently hired Susan Hackett as an assistant project manager. Hackett comes to the Marion, Mass.-based contractor after working in a similar role for Delphi Construction.

As an assistant project manager, Hackett will work out of SCI's Marion, Mass., office and be responsible for document control, project setup, subcontractor coordination, closeout and a variety of other administrative duties. Initially, Hackett is assistant project manager on several projects, including Brookdale Carriage Club Providence in Charlotte, Atria Willow Wood in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and Five Star Premier Residences in Teaneck, N.J.

"South Coast's rise in recent years has been due to many factors. Not the least of which is building a high caliber teams that excel on increasingly more complex and challenging projects," said Tom Quinlan, president of South Coast Improvement Inc. "Susan will fit in very nicely with our team of seasoned construction management veterans."

Hackett brings three decades of construction and management experience to the table. A U.S. Army Reserve veteran, she has been involved in several endeavors to mentor women in the construction industry. Those include participation in the Construction Training and Internship program created and conducted in collaboration with Cape Cod Community College and a Women In Construction Meet & Greet for HBRACC Residential Construction Career Day.
