2024 Ones to Watch - Rising Stars: Kyle Wood, ARCO National Construction | New England

“Kyle is always striving to get better and become a well-rounded professional. His work ethic and drive set him apart from the crowd, and it is truly valued by our clients. Having both the technical knowledge/expertise and intangible qualities is extremely rare which allows Kyle to play a major role across our business from operations, to business development, to client management, and to other ARCO associates’ growth.” - Jason Grant, President at ARCO National Construction | New England. 

In the last 12 months what accomplishment are you most proud of? Leading the business development efforts to grow our life science & advanced manufacturing division. This is a great opportunity to continue to show ARCO’s ability to bring creative design-build solutions in a variety of product types.

How do you balance your rising career with your personal life? I continue to set aside time for family and friends outside of work. Maintaining personal goals and interests are what allow me to stay motivated in my career.

Who are the key people in your life that have contributed to your success? Jason Grant and George Green for taking a chance on me in college and giving me an opportunity to work with ARCO. They are incredible role models for me and have taught me so much personally and professionally.

Outside of your career, where else do you seek continuous learning and personal growth? I spend a lot of time improving my physical health through exercising and playing sports. After a significant knee injury last year, I realized the importance of physical activity and how much it helps my physical and mental health.
