Consigli Construction Co., Inc. announced that it has named life sciences and pharmaceutical industry veteran Al Martino as Regional Director for New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Operating out of New Brunswick, Martino will oversee Consigli’s regional business development, client relations, project delivery, and operations across the Garden State and Keystone State, with a heavy emphasis on expanding the firm’s footprint within the region’s expanding biopharma hub.
Martino brings more than 25 years of local ownership, engineering, asset management, and project execution experience supporting global life sciences, healthcare, and pharmaceutical clients across New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
His background focuses on navigating complex regulatory compliance standards and risk mitigation within highly technical, active operational environments. Most recently, Martino served as Director of Site Planning, Strategy & Controls at Roche, having previously spearheaded capital project management and strategic operations for biopharma giants including Merck and Nestle Health Science.
Martino’s firsthand experience in developing and operating Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) facilities significantly expands Consigli’s in-house capabilities for life sciences clients executing high-tech buildouts across New Jersey’s commercial corridors.
“Al’s deep knowledge of the regional life sciences community and his firsthand understanding of what owners and clients need from their construction partners will be instrumental in supporting Consigli’s continued growth across the local market,” Laura Bush, Regional Director – NYC Metro & NJ/PA at Consigli Construction, said. “We are thrilled to welcome him to our team in New Jersey, and we look forward to the positive impact that his leadership will undoubtedly make on our people, projects and relationships.”
New Jersey continues to reinforce its reputation as a global epicenter for pharmaceutical innovation, cell and gene therapy manufacturing, and research and development. Martino’s appointment positions Consigli to capture growing regional demand for modern R&D laboratories, pilot plants, and specialized manufacturing space.
“Consigli’s strong culture and its people-first values, combined with its extensive experience leading some of the region’s most challenging projects, was a natural fit,” Martino said. “I am grateful for the opportunity to join this tremendous team of genuine builders, and I look forward to supporting Consigli’s continued growth and success.”
