Employee Spotlight: Hassan Shaw

ALMASI COMPANIES

Hassan Shaw – Project Engineer, Almasi Companies

Before I started working at Almasi Companies, I worked for another sitework and underground utilities firm.  I was placed into the role of engineering.  Prior to that, I was a Sergeant in the National Guard and specialized in water purification, chemicals, pipelines, and logistics to transport water.  In addition, I was responsible for teaching new soldiers about elevations and water pressure and how to route the waterlines.  I have a Degree from Montclair State University in Chemistry.

How long have you worked at Almasi?

Since December 2021

What is your favorite part about your job?

I like that it’s a mid-sized, family-oriented company.  Previously, I worked for a large company and felt my needs weren’t being met and often felt ignored and “like another number.”  I like the vibe of a smaller company because people are receptive to your ideas and goals.

What is the best piece of advice you have received?

A coworker at Almasi said to me “always be curious and help out.”

Fun Fact: what would people be surprised to learn about you?

I am really into graphic design, video production and gaming.  I dabble in photoshop, and graphic design & 3D design in my spare time.  I am currently working on building a video game.
