PHOENIX, AZ — General contractor Graycor Construction Company has hired 30-year industry veteran Brett Helm as General Manager of its Southwest Division. Part of Graycor’s senior leadership team, Helm is charged with leading the company’s regional talent pipeline and diversifying and expanding its presence across commercial real estate growth markets.
Based in Graycor’s office in Phoenix, Arizona, Helm will support the warehouse and distribution portfolio while also actively seeking new opportunities in advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, and retail. With extensive experience in the advanced technology sector, he will also focus on strategic portfolio growth in the data center space and semiconductor projects.
“Brett is an exceptional addition to our team, bringing tremendous market expertise and a stellar reputation among his network of clients, subcontractors, and colleagues," Graycor President Tim Hanifin said. “We are thrilled to welcome him as a leader and executive and have full confidence in his ability to steer Graycor’s Southwest region toward continued success supporting our national growth strategy.”
Prior to joining Graycor, Helm spent more than two decades as a Project Executive for DPR Construction, followed by leadership roles at HITT Contracting, Gilbane Building Company, Clayco, and Skanska.
Graycor sees Phoenix and the Southwest region as particularly ripe for data center expansion due to the relatively lower cost of power and the decreased threat of natural disasters. In addition to business development across sectors, Helm will also focus on talent development in the Southwest region.
