Subsequently, he obtained his United States Coast Guard license as Chief Engineer and embarked upon a career on-shore, including serving as an engineering consultant for CO Energy and Engineering, where he provided a suite of commissioning services for healthcare, commercial, residential, industrial and institutional industries including planning and commissioning services for emergency power systems; complying with NFPA 110 and joint commissioning standards for the healthcare industry; and offering master planning services to determine short-, mid- and long-term opportunities to reduce energy, control costs, and improve operational efficiency.

In conjunction with the acquisitions and development project management staff, he will also be responsible for planning and implementation of all capital development projects, particularly new construction, substantial rehabilitation, moderate rehabilitation, and critical repairs.
The Schochet Companies President Richard Henken, said, “We are proud to have a professional of Rob Weber’s caliber join our team and excited about the opportunity to maintain and expand our commitment to providing first-rate housing and services to our residents. We were impressed with Rob’s knowledge of the residential and commercial real estate sectors and look forward to the fresh perspective he will bring to building maintenance, construction project management and quality control. His input will also be invaluable as we continue to undertake new projects and renovate our existing properties as part of our goal to preserve and protect affordable housing in the communities we serve.”
Weber said, “Throughout my professional career, I have developed a strong passion for residential and commercial property and actively sought opportunities within real estate. In addition to engineering and facilities expertise, my background has offered me the ability to work with and manage individuals with diverse cultures and backgrounds and to learn how to effectively communicate and coordinate with professionals and staff at all levels, as well as general contractors, architects and subcontractors, to ensure all projects meet organizational standards and growth. I am enthused at the opportunity to join the Schochet Companies and to apply my skills and experience within a full-service company that owns and/or manages more than 5,000 apartments and 100,000 square feet of commercial space throughout New England.”
