AUSTIN, TX — Hoar Construction announces the promotion of Jason Bennett to Region President, a strategic move that creates a new role to strengthen leadership in key markets in Nashville and Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Washington D.C. In this position, Bennett will oversee operations and business development initiatives across several divisions, working to recruit and develop talent while ensuring client expectations are met.
“As our company has grown over the past several years, we realized we need people to take on larger leadership roles to continue to drive our culture, build strong client relationships, and maintain our high standards for safety and quality across the business,” said Turner Burton, President of Hoar Construction.
Bennett started at Hoar in 2000 as a Project Engineer in the company’s Birmingham, Alabama, office headquarters before moving to its Nashville division, where he worked heavily within the health care industry. In the Nashville office, Bennett oversees 100 employees and multiple sectors including multifamily and higher education. As Region President, he will oversee the additional markets of Chattanooga and Washington D.C., with the goal of expanding the employee base and portfolio of projects in those offices.
“I’ve devoted my career to growing Hoar’s people and culture in Tennessee, and I’m eager to continue this legacy in our D.C. market, which has seen tremendous growth and opportunity in recent years,” Bennett said. “Our company’s growth strategy is built around its people, and my focus will be on cultivating a place of work where people truly feel championed to put their best foot forward for each other and our clients.”
“Hoar has strong project momentum in all three of these regions, and I am looking to bolster the operational efficiencies and consistencies across the board when it comes to client experience," Bennett added. "We want all divisions to continue feeling like one holistic company operating together, providing the same world-class service that is offered in the other divisions across the country."
