The story behind JHL Constructors’ president and CEO is more the exception than the norm for a general contractor these days: Ben Stellor has worked at just one company—JHL—for his entire career.
Founded in 1987 by John Hachmeister, who died in 2017, JHL is now in its second generation of employee-owned leaders, working to follow the relationship-focused drive of the company’s founder while growing into new sectors. That strategy has led JHL to earn $246 million in regional revenue in 2021, up from $216 million in 2020, while retaining longtime clients and forming new partnerships.
