That hasn’t changed. But project managers from the clients are reaching out to us now and saying ‘We just want to let you know that we really appreciate the quality of project management and paperwork coming out of your office.’” “They love that we’re so on top of the projects and its schedule,” he adds. “They always know what’s going on and what to expect from us. That’s what really sets us apart – it’s our efficiency, our organization, our estimating, our RFI’s, our scheduling, and, of course, our execution. That’s what gives our clients a lot of confidence.” Also confidence-inspiring is the company’s commitment to safety – which is reflected in their company slogan, “SAFETY-SERVICE- EXCELLENCE.” Their project management teams, along with their skilled field team members, work hard at keeping that commitment at the forefront. “Our safety culture is extremely important to us, and always will be,” Anthony says. “We’re proud that we’re going over five years without one lost time incident.” Anthony credits that achievement to the the guidance of HSE Manager Jake Thompson, and to the buy-in from every member of their staff. He says that safety is TJI’s “number one priority,” and something they promote to all employees at all times. “A lot of companies don’t like to spend money on safety; they see it as an overhead. We look at it completely differently. We look at it as a priority. We put a lot of time and money and effort into making sure our employees go home to their families every day. That’s always going to be our way.”
