Our Leadership
Leadership is necessary in all aspects of life. At East Coast Facilities we lead our people by our example. Many of our leaders have direct field experience. Why is this valuable? This is valuable because our people know that we are not afraid to get dirty, that we are deeply connected to what goes on in the field. One of our core values is “we do not give orders we would not do ourselves”. This means that our leadership team is one with the field. Meet our leadership team below
