BOSTON, July 16, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Suffolk, one of the largest and most innovative construction companies in the United States, is proud to announce that Chief Technology Officer Jit Kee Chin has been named an Autodesk Construction Champion for 2024. Mr. Chin continues to play a key role in leading Suffolk’s investment, adoption and integration of cutting-edge technology and data solutions that add value to clients, increase jobsite efficiencies and continue to disrupt the construction industry.

Since joining Suffolk in 2018, Jit Kee Chin has overseen the adoption of technology, data and advanced analytics to improve the organization’s core business and fundamentally reinvent the future of construction.
