What JAG Companies does

JAG Companies, LLC is a privately held, family-owned civil construction holding company headquartered in Wall Township, New Jersey, founded in 1978 by Cuban immigrant Juan A. Gutierrez. The company operates through three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Northeast Remsco Construction, which delivers heavy civil, utility, and water/wastewater treatment plant construction along with trenchless, tunneling, and microtunneling services; Caldwell Marine International, a heavy civil marine contractor specializing in submarine cable installation and near-shore wind cable installation using the only subsea tracked trencher in the United States; and Huxted Trenchless, a full-service microtunneling and horizontal directional drilling subcontractor operating one of the largest microtunneling fleets in the country. Together the three subsidiaries provide integrated turnkey infrastructure delivery across marine, underground, and surface civil scopes for enterprise clients including leading global cable companies, municipal water authorities, utilities, and government entities.

The company generates revenue on a project-based, quote-driven B2B model, with each subsidiary bidding and executing discrete heavy civil, marine, or trenchless construction contracts. Distribution is direct, with no reseller or channel intermediaries, and go-to-market relies on direct client engagement, industry trade show participation (AWWA, NASTT, IPF Offshore Wind), and a centralized inquiry form on the corporate website. The platform is supported by MBE certification, a documented spotless OSHA record, and TRIR/DART safety metrics consistently better than the national average, which together serve as key qualification differentiators in public-sector and utility procurement. Operationally JAG serves the Northeast, Southeast, New York, New Jersey, and Texas markets with a workforce of 251-500 employees and a fleet of specialty equipment representing significant capital intensity.

Following the founder's death in 2023, leadership rests with second-generation President and CEO Rolando (Roly) Acosta, and in 2025 the company added an advisory board with three outside directors, signaling governance maturation. No institutional capital, PE backing, or public listing is indicated in available sources, and no revenue, backlog, or funding figures are disclosed.
