WALLINGFORD, CT — Burns & McDonnell, a 100 percent employee-owned engineering, architecture, and construction firm, has named Jason Cabral as General Manager for its Northeast Region, which includes offices in Portland, Maine; Boston, Massachusetts; Wallingford, Connecticut; New York, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Morristown, New Jersey. Cabral succeeds Jerry Fan, who will fully transition to serve as Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Americas North Region.
Cabral joined Burns & McDonnell in 2006 as a Project Manager for transmission projects in the Northeast, helping major utilities provide safer, more reliable energy to millions of customers. Over the years, his experience and leadership have been instrumental in advancing the firm’s growth and client partnerships, including during his leadership of the region's Transmission & Distribution Group.
In 2023, Cabral was named Manager for the regional Construction Group and, in 2024, he was promoted to Vice President of Northeast Operations.
“Jason is a proven leader who has played an integral role in strengthening our client relationships and expanding our footprint in the Northeast,” Fan said. “He has been an outstanding partner to our clients and a champion for our employee-owners, and I am excited to see how he will continue to drive growth and success in this next chapter.”
In his new role, Cabral will continue building on the Northeast team’s history of delivering innovative solutions for clients. He will place an emphasis on further strengthening partnerships and leading strategic initiatives across industries including aviation, manufacturing (food and consumer products, life sciences, and consumer products), power delivery, mission critical, and renewable generation. Drawing on the full breadth of the region’s engineering, construction, and environmental capabilities, he is focused on helping clients address complex infrastructure challenges.

“I’m equally excited to partner with Jacob in his new role, where his collaborative approach and commitment to our people will help us write the next chapter of growth for the region," Cabral added.
Blanton, who has contributed to the firm’s success in Houston and Dallas, Texas, has been instrumental in driving growth and fostering culture in the Northeast for the past six years, most recently serving as Vice President and Regional Manager for the Transmission & Distribution Group.
