ASIE Recognizes Mr. Harish Jajoo, P.E.
ASIE is delighted to recognize Mr. Harish Jajoo, P.E., as one of the most dedicated, committed and most deserving Engineer in the Houston and surrounding communities.
 
Harish is a registered civil engineer and urban infrastructure professional who has managed public works for the City of Houston for twenty-nine years. He currently serves as chair of the Infrastructure Planning Division of the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce and was recognized with the Chairman's Award for outstanding community service at last year’s FBCC Gala.
 
He was appointed to the Sugar Land Zoning Board of Adjustment in 2005, and subsequently was appointed to the Planning & Zoning Commission where he currently serves. A fiscal conservative, he will bring vast experience in municipal management to the council. His experience equips him with a thorough understanding of what it takes to get things done for a municipality - be it infrastructure, intergovernmental agency coordination, city council considerations, stretching capital investment dollars or interacting with citizens to explain complex budgetary and technological issues.
 
He has served with the Sugar Land Exchange Club as a board member and secretary and co-chaired the spaghetti cook off fundraiser in 2010 and 2011. A graduate of FBCC’s Fort Bend Leadership, he has served as the Chairman of the Board of the Indo-American Forum of Fort Bend (IAF) and is an active member of the HESS club, the oldest engineering organization in the greater Houston area.
 
Harish and his wife, Shashi, have two children. Son Rishi currently attends Harvard University and son Sid is working for a local Sugar Land company. The Jajoo family has made Sugar Land their home for the past twenty-five years.
 
We hope you will join ASIE in recognizing one of the outstanding Indo American Engineer, Harish Jajoo.
