LeBlanc promoted to senior project manager at Jewett Construction

Raymond, NH Jewett Construction Company has promoted Alain LeBlanc, LEED-AP to senior project manager. The promotion comes following LeBlanc’s successful management of several high-profile construction projects over the past year for Jewett Construction.

A native of Vermont and graduate of Vermont Technical College, LeBlanc has spent much of his career managing projects for one of the Nation’s largest contractors in the mid-Atlantic region. He joined Jewett in 2017 in order to be closer to family and for the opportunity to grow with a smaller company.

Some of the projects managed by LeBlanc during his time with Jewett include a new AutoFair Ford dealership in Haverhill, MA, woof meow Family Pet Center in Dover, N.H., and the Nine-Zero Washington Historic Restoration, in Salem, MA. He is currently managing the reconstruction of the timber frame barn at The Preserve at Chocorua in Tamworth, N.H.

In addition to running projects for Jewett Construction, LeBlanc has also taken on several other responsibilities including labor scheduling, supporting IT, recruitment and more. LeBlanc has introduced several new software programs to Jewett Construction, helped develop processes across the Operations department and is always looking for that next area to improve.

In his new role, LeBlanc will help build company processes, implement advanced technologies and mentor Junior and Assistant Project Managers to grow and develop them within the company. 

Jewett Construction, an official Butler Builder, specializes in commercial, retail, automotive and industrial projects throughout the New England. Jewett’s trademarked 4EverSafe program guarantees that safety is always the number one priority on every project.
