ST. CLOUD, MN — Landwehr Construction, Inc. announces the promotion of long-time employee, Pat Herron, to Vice President of Cranes. This promotion reflects the company’s continued growth and commitment to strengthening its crane operations across the Upper Midwest.
Herron began his career in the construction industry in 2001 as a Heavy Equipment Operator for a civil contractor in the Minneapolis, Minnesota, area. Drawn by a passion for cranes, he joined Landwehr Construction and obtained his NCCCO certification. His field experience spans a wide range of complex projects, from the oil fields of North Dakota to large-scale stadium construction throughout the region.
In 2014, Herron transitioned into an office leadership role and expanded his impact on Landwehr’s crane division. Over the past eight years, he has been instrumental in the growth of Landwehr’s crane group and led the integration, growth, and development of the company’s Sioux Falls, South Dakota, operations with the acquisition of Jerke Construction last summer. Herron has consistently prioritized safety, training, and team development, serving as a proctor for NCCCO certification exams and pursuing continued education in OSHA compliance, leadership, and technology-based training.
With nearly 25 years of industry experience and 12 years with Landwehr Construction, Herron brings a blend of hands-on field knowledge and strategic leadership to his new role.
“I’ve always believed in taking on new challenges and continuing to learn," Herron said. "Landwehr has given me incredible opportunities throughout my career, and I’m excited to help lead our crane division as we continue to grow while keeping safety and teamwork at the forefront.”
