The Almasi name, synonymous with integrity and deeply rooted NJ construction
history, has undoubtedly “opened doors” for Anne Marie Almasi. However, it is her resilient
work ethic, strength of character, and true understanding of changing client needs that has

companies, oil and gas providers, government and education institutions, and sports facilities.
In 2002, she broke through the “glass ceiling” in a male dominated field, by starting her

installation, electrical and mechanical trenching, soil remediation, and trucking services.
As President and CFO, Anne Marie oversees all finances, negotiates bonding, develops
marketing, responds to customer services needs, generates sales, purchases equipment and
supplies, and manages employee relations. Almasi exemplifies what it means to be a hands

Anne Marie believes mentorship is one of the most important aspects of her job as a
leading woman in construction. She supports professional growth as an active member of
several professional organizations including PWC, NJSA, UTCA, LICA and WMCC. It

working hard, and always taking the time to get to know w
