KANSAS CITY, MO — Jay Lucas, Vice President of Construction Operations at McCownGordon Construction for the past 10 years recently retired. He played a key role in McCownGordon’s growth and oversaw all the firm’s field operations.
Lucas garnered more than 30 years of experience in the construction industry as a Superintendent, Manager of Self-Perform and Director of Field Operations for some of the largest commercial construction companies in the region. His supervision of more than 200 projects includes oversight of field operations, encompassing strategy, organization, staffing and allocation, site logistics, tools and equipment management, productivity management, risk management and superintendent leadership and training.
Lucas graduated from Pittsburg State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in construction engineering technology. His accolades include being named Superintendent of the Year by the American Subcontractors Association of Kansas and being featured in the Kansas City Business Journal’s 2016 “People on the Move” spotlight. Lucas is also an active member of the Associated General Contractors and the Concrete Promotional Group, Midwest Concrete Industry Board.
“Jay has been hugely instrumental in our success over the last decade,” said Brett Gordon, Chair of the Board for McCownGordon. “He has supported the company's project teams and provided leadership and wisdom to a myriad of projects. His oversight has helped ensure that preplanning through execution on all of our projects is successful for the company and our clients.”
