Inspired by his stepfather, who worked as a carpenter, Matt Jasinski also wanted to pursue a career in the carpentry trade. His stepfather, however, told him that he could teach him carpentry on the side.
“He said to try electrical, and I was hooked,” he says.
Born and raised in Methuen, Mass., he attended Greater Lawrence Tech in Andover, Mass., where he studied the electrical trade. At 19 years old, Jasinski started his electrical apprenticeship at Interstate Electrical Services. With his dedication and work ethic, he advanced to his current role of project supervisor.
“I’d say the most challenging part of my role is usually the project finish date,” he says. “The owners always want the project done sooner than the end date.”
After receiving his license, Jasinski worked with the Interstate Legacy Group of seasoned electricians who have been with the company 30 to 40 years. He leveraged their mentoring to enhance his skills and expand his goals.
“I wouldn’t be where I am today without participating in Interstate’s Legacy Group,” he says.
On design-build life sciences projects, which is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the state, Jasinski is involved with managing the projects and working with the team to successfully deliver projects on-time and on-budget. For example, his most recent project was a $1.7-million contract for BE Biopharma, in which 14% of the total hours on the job were done in prefabrication assemblies.
Early on in his career, he learned how to use the company’s prefabrication facility to support his projects and meet demanding schedules.
“Prefabrication in the electrical trade is a tremendous asset in helping me to increase my team’s efficiency,” he says. “I enjoy managing every part of the job, from lighting to power to fire alarm to distribution.”
