Tariq Shobab 2026 Finalist

Senior Project Coordinator at Graham Infrastructure

Graham Infrastructure

There’s no need to panic with Tariq on your team. He has the ability to bring clarity and calm to high-pressure work—the kind of steady presence that makes a complex job feel manageable. He’s the person who can take a dozen moving parts—engineers, forepersons, suppliers, shifting access windows—and turn them into a plan everyone understands. And when the inevitable curveballs hit, Tariq responds with logic, composure, and a simple “next step” mindset that keeps the team moving forward. What sets him apart isn’t just organization—it’s trust. Tariq doesn’t coordinate from a desk. He walks the site, listens to subcontractors, and collaborates on solutions instead of dictating them. People know that when Tariq speaks, he’s not just relaying information—he’s aligning the room. Then there’s the part that happens after hours. Tariq spends his evenings building free tools, mentoring emerging professionals, and speaking at schools, colleges, and industry events. Through volunteer work with groups like VRCA and other industry organizations, he’s helped builders at every stage sharpen their communication and confidence.

What voters said

"Tariq is one of the most genuine people I know. He remembers even the smallest things you share with him and checks in months later. It truly shows how much he cares."
