James G. Davis Constructions Corporation (DAVIS) announced 36 company-wide promotions and 26 new employees.

Some of DAVIS’ key leadership promotions include Jon Hancher, who was named Vice President – Healthcare. Jon joined DAVIS in 2012 as Director of Healthcare. With 30 years of experience in the construction industry, Jon has played an integral role in making DAVIS an even stronger competitor in the healthcare market.

Other notable promotions include longtime employees, Tim Swanson and Tom Meile, who were both named Senior Superintendents.

In addition to investing in its current employees, DAVIS’ efforts to recruit the best proved strong in late 2014. The company hired 26 new employees, including three former DAVIS interns. Jeremy George, a graduate of Auburn University and AJ Pollock, a Virginia Tech graduate, were both brought on as Project Engineers. Robbie Shekletski, who hails from North Carolina State University, returned to the company as an Assistant Project Manager.
