Turner Restructures Services Into Two Main Business Lines
Turner Construction will split its services into two main business lines.
Contracting giant Turner Construction has announced a company restructuring that will see the firm focus its services into two main business lines that it says will expand its footprint in emerging biopharma, energy transition, data center and semiconductor markets.
The company said longtime executives Abrar Sheriff and Tom Reilly have been named presidents of its new construction and enterprise service lines, respectively. It said the latter is a bifurcation of Turner’s integrated solutions offerings, including its supply chain subsidiary unit SourceBlue. The executives had been in executive vice president roles,
“As our projects grow in size and complexity, we are constantly advancing our capabilities,” said Sheriff, who also is president and CEO of Turner International.
At the helm of the enterprise unit, Reilly said he will focus on growing the business in new markets. “We will expand SourceBlue, the Turner Engineering Group, our Self-Perform Operations and other innovative services,” he said. The firm's purchase in July of Ireland-based advanced technology firm Dornan Engineering Group supports this growth, Reilly added. It is active across Europe.
With Abrar and Reilly’s promotions, the company also added seven senior employees to its executive management group, with Aaron Wiebelhaus promoted to managing director and Lisa Ballantyne elevated to chief administrative officer.
Peter Davoren, who also serves as chairman of Flatiron-Dragados in North America, said the restructuring with Sheriff and Reilly’s leadership “enhances our capacity to deliver seamless, integrated solutions on our projects and to our clients.”
Turner Construction ranks No. 1 on ENR’s 2024 Top 400 Contractors list, with $16.1 billion in domestic revenue. The company reports close to $33 billion in project backlog.
