Topping the list of announcements were Tom Reilly and Abrar Sheriff who will now serve as presidents of Enterprise Service and Construction Services, respectively. Lisa Ballantyne was also promoted to chief administrative officer.
Sheriff said, “As our projects grow in size and complexity, we are constantly advancing our capabilities. As we do that, we will continue our active caring culture that prioritizes the health and wellbeing of the worker above all else.”
In addition, eight leaders were also named to the Turner Executive Management Group: Rick Bach, Chris Beck, Meaghan Hooper-Berdik, Ben Kaplan, Brian Mooney, Matt Papenfus, David Robinson and Aaron Wiebelhaus.
Looking ahead, Reilly added, “We will expand SourceBlue, the Turner Engineering Group, our Self-Perform Operations, and other innovative services. Our project-focused approach will bring Turner’s enterprise service solutions to new markets and clients.
“Supporting our expansion is our acquisition of Dornan Engineering Group. Dornan is based in Ireland and is active on projects in the advanced technology sector across Europe.”
The company expects to stay active in data centre, semiconductor fab, biopharma, and industrial builds, which Turner estimated will grow to 40% of the firm’s portfolio.
Turner’s CEO and chair Peter Davoren said, “Our leadership structure is in place to capture the best of those opportunities for our people and company.
“SourceBlue has grown significantly over the past 20 years in North America and is now serving clients globally in partnership with ACS Group companies. Turner’s integrated solutions model is already reflected in Europe where the company is providing construction and SourceBlue service on projects.”
