Both known for their commitment to safety, operational excellence, and community development, J. Fletcher Creamer & Son and JINGOLI are nationally recognized infrastructure services providers bringing over a century of experience delivering major infrastructure projects across the region.

"Partnering with industry leaders who have proven experience in the local market is critical to establishing a thriving domestic offshore wind industry anchored in New Jersey," said Joris Veldhoven, chief executive officer, Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind.
