HERNDON, VA — Suffolk announces the hiring of Darick Edmond as Vice President of Project Development and Vail McMillian as Director of Preconstruction. Both bring regional experience and will play key roles in scaling Suffolk’s operations across the Mid-Atlantic. Edmond and McMillian have experience managing complex, large-scale projects across the federal, education, aviation, health care, and commercial development sectors.

Edmond, who is returning to Suffolk after eight years in leadership roles at Skanska, will focus on supporting strategic growth and execution throughout the region. He brings extensive experience leading large, technically complex projects, and is currently supporting Suffolk’s work across high-impact sectors such as aviation, where success depends on schedule certainty, regulatory coordination, and meeting diverse stakeholder needs.

With more than 25 years of construction experience, Edmond's past work includes George Mason University’s Life Sciences and Engineering Building in Manassas, Virginia; the mixed-use development at The Boro in Tysons, Virginia; and health care and institutional work such as the Outpatient Pavilion and parking garage at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Virginia.

“Darick brings a dynamic combination of strategic foresight and operational depth,” said Phil Brault, General Manager of Suffolk’s Mid-Atlantic region. “His return to Suffolk reflects our shared commitment to hiring the best in the business to drive results and elevate our delivery in the Mid-Atlantic.”

McMillian will oversee preconstruction and estimating across Mid-Atlantic projects and select national federal pursuits. Drawing on his extensive background in early-phase cost planning and risk mitigation will help shape Suffolk’s project pipeline and guide teams to deliver value-driven solutions from the earliest stages of the project cycle.

“Suffolk’s commitment to operational excellence starts at the earliest stages of project planning,” Brault said. “With Vail, we gain a proven leader with deep cost expertise, a strong command of preconstruction delivery, and a passion for building high-performing teams while leveraging tools like Ediphi, Procore, and Autodesk to drive consistency, accuracy, and innovation across our projects.”

McMillian joins Suffolk from Consigli, where he helped lead the estimating efforts for public and institutional projects, including the Lincoln Memorial Undercroft and Meridian Hill Park (Malcolm X Park) in Washington, D.C. He has also contributed to developments for Towson University (Towson, Maryland), Coppin State University (Baltimore, Maryland), and Architect of the Capitol.
