Leadership
Shane, Vice President of Operations
At 18 years of age, Shane Harris began his career in the construction industry. As a 3rd generation construction worker, he set out to make his mark on the industry. His beginnings were humble as he worked his way from a pipe and instrument foreman to a general foreman. Mr. Harris’s continued dedication to progressing in his career sent him soaring up the corporate ladder bringing him from general foreman to his current title of Vice President of Operations here at East Coast Infrastructure, Inc.
Throughout the earlier part of his career, he had the privilege of developing his craft and obtaining valuable knowledge in various challenging environments such as: nuclear power plants, fossil fuel plants, natural gas power plants, chemical plants, computer chip plants, and papermills. That is until 1999 when he began his career at T.A.SHEETS where he spent the next 14 years gaining the experience necessary to become a successful project manager. In 2015, Mr. Harris transitioned from T.A. SHEETS to Shaw Construction Corporation eager to share the wealth of knowledge he spent the last 29 years cultivating. Since then, Mr. Harris has managed multi-million-dollar projects for HRSD, all the municipalities of the Tidewater region, NAVFAC, the Port of Virginia, and several other private industries.
In 2016, Greg Shaw and Danny Warren approached Mr. Harris with a new opportunity to launch a new coatings application company, East Coast Infrastructure, Inc. This company would provide the Tidewater region with a high-quality, environmentally safe solution for its aging infrastructure that is in desperate need of rehabilitation. The decision was simple; Mr. Harris has since dedicated himself and his life’s work to strengthening and protecting the region to which he calls home with the unsurpassable infrastructure rehabilitation capabilities of East Coast Infrastructure, Inc.
Jason, Senior Infrastructure Assessment Manager
Jason Allen started his career in the coal fields of Eastern Kentucky. After regulations forced much of the industry to a grinding halt, he knew he needed to expand his knowledge and expertise. Jason began his secondary education at Pikeville College and completed his studies in Small Business Management with a concentration in Entrepreneurship at Morehead State University.
Jason left the Bluegrass State for the Hampton Roads, Virginia region back in 2015 starting his career in utility assessment with Hydromax USA. After a few years of experience as a field supervisor, Jason left Hydromax and began working for Precision Measurements Inc., in Virginia Beach.
Due to an unexpected vacancy, Jason was asked to fill in temporarily as a Project Manager to keep everything running until the company could find a replacement. Jason did such a great job, Precision Measurements Inc. decided to skip the hiring process and promote him to the position!
Shane Harris and Jason had the pleasure of working hand in hand when ECI partnered with PMI on some of their cleaning/inspection projects. Months later, when the two collaborated again on another local project, they realized they would make a great team. Jason could learn from the wealth of experience Shane had acquired over the years, and Shane needed someone to run the cleaning/inspection side of ECI so he can continue to grow the rehabilitation/epoxy projects. They have been working together ever since to bring the best customer service, latest technology, and environmentally safe products to the East Coast!

It is the chance to honor the blue-collar worker that raised her while leaving only positive impacts on the environment along the way.
