Letter from John Cannistraro
Across Cannistraro, teams are stepping up like never before - carefully planning their work, taking ownership of safety, and executing as one Company. The coordination between office, shop, and field is producing great outcomes and reinforcing our shared commitment for success.
It’s inspiring to see continued growth in communication, collaboration, and the pursuit of excellence across all groups. Congratulations to all!
As I reflect on the past sixty-two years in the family business, and look towards the future, I’m especially proud to see the next generation entering the industry, whether through our Heavy Metal Summer Experience, apprenticeship programs, or co-op opportunities.
Early exposure to the trades gives young people a real head start, equipping them with the skills to master their craft—wherever their career path may lead. A heartfelt thank-you to all the mentors who make these programs possible, and to the leaders across our staff and craft for fostering harmony, teamwork, and an unshakable winning spirit. Keep up the great work!
Letter from Our Safety Director
We are halfway through the year and compared to last year we have made many improvements. Now more than ever, it is crucial that we do not become complacent as the weather gets warmer. Many of us are looking forward to activities that allow us to swap out the work boots for sandals or boat shoes once off the jobsite, but while on site, it's important that we stay focused on the task at hand. Plan, Own, Commit — and we can continue to keep ourselves and each other safe. Investing in our people will remain important through training, increasing our collaboration, and planning our work.
Keep up the great work and enjoy the rest of the summer!
Robert Fuller

Proactive Safety in Action: The Launch of NM/GC at Cannistraro
At Cannistraro, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a core value. That’s why we launched the “Near Miss / Good Catch” (NM/GC) program, giving our field teams the power to spot and report potential hazards before they turn into incidents. The mission? Stay ahead of risks and strengthen our culture of safety from the ground up.
A “Near Miss” refers to a close call that could have caused harm, while a “Good Catch” is the identification and correction of a hazard before an incident occurs. The program is open to all field workers with access to a company device. Submitting a report is quick and easy— the application is available on the Landing Page under “Near Miss/Good Catch” and has already been pushed to users’ devices.
Developed and tested with input from CLA cohort members and field leaders, the app underwent Alpha and Beta trials before its full rollout in March 2025. More than 180 employees have already been trained, with rollout efforts continuing this summer through on-site visits and safety meetings.
The program will evolve to include deeper data analysis and integration with systems like CMiC and ServiceTrade. With over 50 submissions already logged, Cannistraro is turning safety awareness into daily action— creating a culture where everyone plays a part in protecting one another.

IT Update and FID On-Site Support Schedule for Craft & Staff
As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen the company’s technical support across all departments and job sites, we’re implementing a few key updates to the IT department.
First, we’ve made a recent personnel change within the IT team. This adjustment is designed to better align our resources with the evolving needs of the organization and enhance the level of service we provide to both office and field employees. Additionally, beginning Monday, June 16, on-site IT support will now be available at FID three days a week (Monday through Wednesday). We’ll be monitoring this schedule closely to ensure it meets the needs of the team at FID, as well as our field operations.
As always, we ask that all IT requests—whether from the office or field—be submitted through ITsupport@cannistraro.com to ensure the most efficient handling.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we roll out these changes. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Key Reminders:
New FID IT Schedule: On-site support available Monday–Wednesday. Submit Requests: ITsupport@cannistraro.com.
An Update from Learning & Development
A special shout out of appreciation goes to the following individuals who took time out of their busy schedules to share their perspective about the role of a Cannistraro foreperson, both what is expected of the position and its day-to-day challenges. Their insight was instructive as it has affirmed what we know to be true – Cannistraro field leaders are the backbone of this company, and it is their expertise and leadership that is critically important to our success.
L&D would like to thank all of you for participating in the brainstorming sessions, held over the past few months with our consultant Al Fox, as we continue to explore opportunities for developing our field leaders. Key takeaways have been presented to senior leadership and a future Craft Council meeting agenda will include an update about these learnings and next steps.

Meet Our Co-Ops
Meet Our Apprentices
Heavy Metal Summer Experience Camp
Meet our Co-Ops!
Cannistraro's Co-Op Program provides students with valuable, hands-on experience in a real-world work environment. Through meaningful projects and mentorship, participants gain practical skills while contributing to the company's day-to-day operations. The program offers students a chance to apply academic knowledge, develop professional skills, and explore potential career paths in the construction industry.
We aim to build connections with universities and attract motivated students who are eager to learn. While the Co-Op experience is temporary, it also helps us identify potential future hires who align with our company’s needs and culture. With competitive compensation and exposure to industry professionals, the program provides a solid foundation for students preparing for their careers.
We took the opportunity to sit down with our current Co-Op cohort and learn more about their experiences working at Cannistraro, the skills they’ve gained, and how working with us has influenced their career goals.
"My favorite part of this role is being able to see behind the scenes of a company’s financials and how money flows throughout a construction company. It has given me insight into how financial operations influence different teams and departments. This has been valuable as I continue learning about accounting and financial processes."
Rachel McDonald Co-Op, Service
What part of your work here are you most excited to talk about when you go back to class?
"When I go back to school, one of the things I’m going to highlight about Cannistraro is how open everyone is to helping one another. I never had to worry about being judged for asking questions because everyone genuinely wanted to give me a hand."
Bobby Scott
Co-Op, Plumbing
What is your favorite part of your role and why?
"My favorite part of my role is the fast pace and constant learning that has taken place over the course of the summer. Being able to learn about HVAC and seeing how a day-to-day process is in the mechanical industry has been a great learning experience"
Ben Blanchard
Co-Op,
Multi-Trade Group 1
What skills have you developed thus far into your experience?
"This summer, I improved my communication and coordination skills by managing Windows 11 updates across the company. Scheduling around everyone’s availability was challenging, but it taught me to stay organized and flexible. One highlight was meeting and supporting so many people — it gave me a great perspective on how IT supports the whole organization."
Ethan Cox
Co-Op, IT
How has this experience shaped your career goals or interests?
“This internship opened my eyes to the mechanical side of construction—I’ve learned how vital teamwork and communication are to keeping projects on track. It’s made me excited about a future in this field.”
Alanna Felix Co-Op, HVAC
What skills have you developed thus far into your experience?
"I’ve developed the ability to communicate problems in the field and work through them."
Sean King Co-Op, Safety
What is your favorite part of your role and why?
"My favorite part here has been the variety. Getting exposure to both the design and project management sides has helped me see how a project progresses, and I’ve enjoyed seeing how my work contributes to different phases."
Yansi
Patel Co-Op, Fire Protection
What aspect of your experience has had the biggest impact on you?
"Working with both designers and project managers was my favorite part of the Co-Op. I gained insight into how different roles collaborate on complex projects and built meaningful connections that made my time at Cannistraro truly rewarding.”
Kolby Robertson Co-Op, Fire Protection
What skills have you developed that you're most proud of during your Co-Op?
“Over my time as a Co-Op, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to estimate and price a job accurately. I’m now confident in reviewing construction drawings to assess the scope of work, estimate how long the job will take, and the approximate crew size needed to complete it efficiently, along with how much material is needed."
Tatiana Troy
Co-Op, Estimating
Meet our Apprentices!
We are thrilled to have so many skilled apprentices working with us! Our apprenticeship programs across all trades not only ensure that the future tradespeople are trained to the highest industry standards in plumbing, HVAC, and fire protection, but also help preserve institutional knowledge and craftsmanship across generations to come. We are proud to have so many working and learning with us and know they will continue to strive in their craft!
What’s meant the most to me is how the journeymen have taken a personal interest in my growth. Their support has really helped me sharpen my skills and grow as a mechanic throughout my apprenticeship.”

This is a new state-of-the-art hospital facility located at 275 Cambridge Street Boston, MA. This facility is the first of two new buildings planned for the site and spans an impressive 650,000 square feet across 18 above-ground levels and 6 below-grade levels. Our scope of work includes the installation of plumbing and medical gas systems across multiple mechanical room floors and two large vertical shafts. These systems support the full range of hospital operations, including domestic hot and cold water, sanitary and storm piping, and six medical gas systems serving numerous operating rooms and over 200 inpatient care rooms across seven floors.
A key feature for the facility is its ability to act as an "energy island" - it will be able to operate independently from public utilities including electricity, water, sewage, for up to 96 hours in the event of a catastrophic situation. Sustainability was prioritized throughout the design, including advanced systems to reclaim and reuse rainwater across the entire building.
To increase efficiency:
• This project was built using 90% to 95% prefabricated material
• The FID facility was used to cycle all material to the site whether it was fabricated or not to keep everything on wheels and allowed our field team to request specialty deliveries for expedited items throughout the duration of this project so far

Harvard University Special Hazards Inspection & Testing
Job Type: Inspection & Testing
Client: Harvard University
The Cannistraro Special Hazards team currently inspects, tests, and services all Special Hazards suppression systems across the Harvard University campus. Working in collaboration with the Harvard University Fire Protection group, we maintain a range of systems including FM-200, FK-5-1-12 (Novec 1230), Inert Gas Clean Agents, Halon 1301, and Pre-engineered Dry Chemical systems, along with their associated detection and control components.
Sandy Cooper and Walter Lyons perform semi-annual testing and inspection at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study library, which includes both Clean Agent and Pre-Action systems.
Highlights of the inspection:
• VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus): Air-sampling smoke detection tested to ensure proper clean agent activation
• Novec 1230 (FK-5-1-12): Clean Agent suppression system – waterless gas suppression, ideal for protecting sensitive areas like libraries, Data Centers, and other valuable assets without causing water damage. It works by absorbing heat, disrupting combustion, and penetrating tight spaces
• Photoelectric Smoke Detectors: Traditional smoke detection tested for release of the Pre-Action sprinkler system as secondary water based suppression system. Activation of two separate detection zones fills the piping with water, which is then discharged through the nearest sprinkler head once it fuses from heat
• Clean Agent / Pre-Action Releasing Panel: Tested by simulating smoke and testing activation devices such as emergency pull stations to confirm full sequence of operations—from early-warning alerts to system discharge via solenoids controlling clean agent cylinders and Pre-Action valves
Cannistraro has proudly serviced Harvard University’s Special Hazards systems since 2020 and is excited to continue growing and expanding our relationship with the university, its building managers, and the Fire Group to make sure Harvard University’s most valuable assets and commodities have the best functioning suppression systems.

TOOLS & EQUIPMENT TEAM AT 30 FID
“Shout out to the Tools & Equipment team over at 30 FID. Over the years I’ve had more than my fair share of last minute requests for (Unique Rigging, Fall Protection, Confined Space Equipment, Smoke Eaters…. you name it) that would be “show stoppers” in the field if our team over at 30 FID wasn’t as outstanding as they are. Jimmy’s experience and knowledge has gotten me out of a ton of tough situations which ultimately limits the risk for the crews in the field without impacting schedules. They all probably cringe whenever I call, but what Jimmy, Angelo, Alex, Carl & George do on a daily basis plays a huge role in keeping our people safe and jobs finishing on time."

HR TEAM
“I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible work the HR Team –Patricia Antoine, Sewicka Bien-Aime, & Grace Arena, put into organizing this year’s Benefits Fair. Your dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to ensuring our employees had access to valuable resources did not go unnoticed. The event was informative, engaging, and well-executed, and that’s all thanks to your efforts. I appreciate the teamwork, creativity, and extra effort you put in to make it a success. It’s moments like these that make me so grateful to work with such a talented and committed group. Thank you again for everything!"
-Corrie Cummings HR Director
“The Manchester Street Generating Station is a 510 MW natural gas-fired power plant located in Providence’s Jewelry District. Defined by its (3) 321foot smoke stacks, the station includes (3) Siemens gas turbines and (3) ABB steam turbines. It serves approximately 150,000 homes annually across Rhode Island and southern New England. Cannistraro played a key role in enabling major inspections and servicing of several gas and steam turbines. This involved removing all fire protection and alarm piping and equipment to allow full access to the turbines and generator. Once the service work and generator replacement were completed, our team promptly reinstalled the fire protection systems—critical to the plant resuming operations, as the turbines cannot be restarted without those systems in place.
As echoed by plant manager AJ Gordon, this effort required exceptional dedication. Our Cannistraro team worked long hours, weekends, and holidays—often sacrificing time with their families—to ensure that every task was executed thoroughly and with care. Most importantly, we completed this work safely—a true reflection of our shared values and a responsibility we never take lightly.”

Team Cannistraro Brings the Spirit to Corporate Cup
Corporate Cup
Team Cannistraro participated in one of our favorite annual events — the Boston Corporate Cup. This spirited competition brought together companies from across the region for a day of friendly athletic challenges, team spirit, and giving back.
Thanks to the incredible fundraising efforts of all the participating teams, the event raised $1 million to support important work at Boston’s leading hospital. It was a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish together.
A huge thank you to the volunteers who helped make the day so memorable. We had a blast and can’t wait to hit the field again next year!
Participating in the Corporate Cup challenge is more than just a competition for me personally as I have family and friends with kids receiving treatment at Boston Children's Hospital — but as for the competition, it really is a celebration of teamwork, determination, and pure fun! From making memories, laughing with your teammates, having a good time cheering each other on, to pushing our limits, every moment reminded me of how powerful we are when we come together as a team. I’m proud Cannistraro participates in this event every year and also of what we as a team accomplished! It is an event I look forward to doing every year!"

5 Minutes with Kenny Reagan
We’re proud to congratulate Ken Reagan on being elected President of the Greater Boston Plumbing Contractors Association — a well-earned recognition of his leadership and commitment to the industry!
As Ken steps into this new role, we took a moment to ask him a few questions about his journey, experiences, and advice for the next generation. Check out our short interview with him below.
Can you share a brief history of your career with Cannistraro?
I interviewed with John Cannistraro Sr. in the summer of 1984, during my junior year at Duxbury High School. My father worked as a Plumbing Foreman for Cannistraro, and from a young age, I knew I wanted to build a career in the plumbing industry.
In 1985, I began my career as a truck driver, delivering materials to job sites for a year before entering the Plumbers Local 12 apprenticeship program. After completing the apprenticeship, I continued my education at Northeastern University, where I completed the HVAC and Fire Protection Design programs through the Building Design and Management School.
I spent several years in the field as a Plumbing Foreman, heavily involved in Special Projects and Service work. In 1999, I transitioned into a new role as Outside Superintendent for the Plumbing Division. By 2002, I had moved into project management, focusing on estimating, selling, and managing multitrade special projects and service projects.
In 2018, I was promoted to Operations Manager of the Plumbing Group, a role I held until 2022, when I was named Vice President of Business Development. I currently serve on the Joint Apprenticeship Committee at Plumbers Local 12 and, as of May 2025, I am honored to serve as President of the Greater Boston Plumbing Contractors Association.
Is there a project or memory that stands out in your career?
One of my favorite projects over the years has been Logan Airport. I’ve had the opportunity to be involved in numerous projects there—both in the field and as a Project Manager—dating back to 1989. Another standout experience was working on Gillette Stadium. That project was not only exciting from a construction standpoint, but also incredibly fun, especially when it came to hosting clients at games during the Tom Brady era. It was a memorable combination of hard work and unforgettable moments.
What advice would you give to young plumbers or new employees starting out today?
The best advice I can give to the younger generation starting a career in the construction industry is this: find a role you truly love. I still love going to work every day, and I have no plans to ever retire— because when you’re passionate about what you do, it becomes a craft, a purpose, and something you were built for. Show up every day, work hard, stay committed, and you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish in your career.
What’s one of your favorite hobbies?
Outside of work, my favorite hobbies include playing pickleball and driving out on Duxbury Beach in my Jeep—nothing beats a day by the ocean and some friendly competition on the court.
