Marion, MA South Coast Improvement Co. (SCI) hired Gareth O’Neill as a construction site supervisor. O’Neill was formerly a supervisor at Anderson Properties.

A construction veteran with international experience, O’Neill has worked in supervisory and laborer roles on construction projects in his native Ireland, Australia and the U.S. He works out of SCI’s corporate headquarters.

He recently served as supervisor on a project at Milton Academy. 

“Gareth is a fine representative of the next generation here at South Coast Improvement,” said Tom Quinlan, president of South Coast Improvement. “For a young guy, he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table and we’re delighted to have him.”

O’Neil cut his teeth in the construction industry as a plasterer and hanging dry wall. His supervisory career began as crew manager for Clifton Formwork in Melbourne, Australia.

“To me, the construction industry provides great learning opportunities, much greater than when I was a student back home in Ireland,” said O’Neill. “I could not ask for a better classroom and teachers than the team here at South Coast Improvement.”

O’Neill holds a Master’s degree in marketing from University of Ulster in Jordanstown, Ireland.
