DALLAS, TX — Joeris General Contractors has experienced growth in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, doubling in revenue over the past five years, with $1.6 billion in backlog currently contracted. To help ensure the company is well positioned and staffed to manage this explosive growth, Joeris has appointed Brian Burns, a mission-critical and life science construction veteran, as Vice President of its DFW operations.
In this new role, Burns is overseeing both daily business operations and growth strategies with an eye on growing company revenue streams through penetration of new vertical markets and geographical areas. To achieve these goals, Burns has spent his first few months on the job evaluating the Dallas office’s organizational structure and supporting the addition of 20 construction management experts to the team. He plans to add another 15 to 20 positions in the coming months.
A Texas A&M College Station graduate with over 30 years of expertise in construction management, Burns has overseen strategic markets including aviation, life sciences, data centers, as well as mission-critical operations.
“Tremendous growth is happening all around us, and Joeris has developed an aggressive plan to expand our footprint into new territories, both in business and geography,” said Scott Lee, Joeris’ newly appointed Senior Vice President of Operations. “Brian is a tremendous wealth of knowledge, highly skilled, and well-respected in the construction industry. We’re grateful to have someone of his caliber now leading the DFW office and our growth initiatives.”
Lee, previously the Vice President leading the Dallas business unit for Joeris, will continue to work out of the Dallas office. In his new role, he will extend and enhance his focus on operational excellence throughout north Texas and across Joeris.
