The Alban Group has named a new president, tapping Tammy Smith for the post in one of two promotions announced Thursday by the Newark-based construction firm.
The company said Smith, who has more than 40 years of experience in the management and construction industry, steps into her new role with what it called a proven track record of success and innovation. It also said she has been instrumental in fostering Alban’s reputation as a leader in commercial real estate and a company that values diversity and empowerment.
Meantime, the firm has elevated Necile Gobel to project engineer, citing her expertise, precision and a passion for construction management. She holds a bachelor’s in architecture and a master’s in construction management from Stevens Institute of Technology.
“These promotions represent the Alban Group’s unwavering dedication to furthering excellence, innovation and women in construction,” said Jim Kirkos, CEO and president of the Meadowlands Chamber. “The construction industry has always been dominated by men, and this is a welcome announcement that will continue to drive the Alban Group forward, and I am thrilled to see Tammy and Necile step into these impactful roles.”
The Alban Group, a fourth-generation, family-owned firm, specializes in high-end commercial and residential projects. According to its website, the company handles more than 800,000 square feet of commercial tenant fit-outs and build-outs annually across the metropolitan area.
