Yi Jun: Top Construction Head

We’ve heard about the large construction companies in the U.S. and their construction projects. What don’t know too well as the construction companies in China that have made inroads in the US and around the world. Just like any large company they are headed by top-notch managers like Yi Jun.

Renovation of the Alexander Hamilton Bridge in New York City, New York; ventilation shafts for the 7 Subway Extension also in New York City; Haier companies building, South Carolina. Nope these weren’t projects done by a U.S. construction company. These projects were undertaken and completed by the China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC). This is a Chinese construction firm that is reputedly the third largest in the world and the 20^th largest general contractor in terms of overseas sales.
To be sure the company had done projects closer at home such as the missile test center of the Shenzhou Space Center; the Airport Passenger Terminal in Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok; and many more projects.

The person who is leading the company is Yi Jun who sits as Chairman. To be sure he wouldn’t have been appointed to head such a large company without the necessary background and experience. He certainly does having a bachelor and master degree in the field of engineering. He joined CSCEC in 1982. Before being promoted to the top post among the positions he has held was as project manager of CSCEC Beijing Lufthansa, director and general manager of China State Construction Contracting Company, chairman of the Board and president of China State Construction International Company Limited and other positions.

Yi Jun is one of a handful of capable leaders who head large construction companies outside of the US.
