Finding the right partner can make a world of difference for any company. No one knows that better than Jean Claude Aurel, Jr.
Jean Claude graduated from Northern Illinois University with a degree in Industrial Engineering. After working on transportation projects in his hometown of Chicago and then Houston, Jean Claude founded his own company in 2008. Transit Safety & Security Solutions, Inc. (TSSS) is a DBE-certified firm that specializes in safety and security certification, including risk management and hazard analysis, for large-scale transit projects.
In 2010, TSSS was invited by Fluor Enterprises, Inc. (Fluor) to join a light rail project in Denver. This $2.3 billion project was the first major undertaking for TSSS and proved to be the foundation of a productive business relationship. In the following years, TSSS would continue working with Fluor on projects in Maryland and Chicago. TSSS also joined Fluor as part of the GLX Constructors (GLXC) team.
All of these new projects have allowed Jean Claude to grow his company to include over 50 full-time employees across the country. He enjoys being able to provide employment opportunities and with projects like GLX, those opportunities will surely continue to grow!
This month, TSSS supported the GLX Community Connection Team by donating supplies for a back-to-school drive. Overall, the team collected over $1000 worth of backpacks and school supplies. Items were donated to the Medford Family Network, which offers free parenting education and family support to neighborhood residents. Thank you to everyone who supported with donations!
