The leadership team at H.B. Neild Construction has named Keene Wilson the company’s Director of Industrial Services.
He began at the company as an assistant superintendent in July of 2019 and begins his new duties this summer.
Wilson now serves in an integral role dealing with the day-to-day operations of H.B. Neild’s many industrial clients. This also includes services for H.B. Neild’s construction, HVAC and plumbing projects.
Vice President of Operations Todd Langston has witnessed Wilson grow tremendously in the past six years on a bedrock of dependability.
“He is someone you can trust,” Langston says. “He is someone that your people can trust, as well as your clients. They tend to gravitate towards him and form trusting and lasting relationships.”
Langston credits H.B. Neild Construction for fostering a culture that encourages growth.
When someone is willing to take on that challenge, it is attainable, he added by noting Wilson’s strongest attributes are dedication, trustworthiness and operating as a great husband, dad and friend to all.
Industry opportunities
Wilson worked in the field before taking on the responsibility of jobsite planning and leadership. He credits his time in the field while working with the craft professionals for allowing him to succeed today.
“From day one, I’ve always felt like my opinion mattered,” he said. “They made me feel like I had something to bring to the table.”
The Gulf Coast construction industry continues to inspire Wilson, along with the collaboration opportunities that it provides.
“I really enjoy going into a setting with little information other than a wish list from the client and putting that all on paper and making that whole thing come together,” he said. “9 times out of 10, I don’t have plans, specs or an architect. I’m meeting one-on-one with someone who is saying, here’s what we want. How can you make this happen?
“I’m very proud of the company and the craft professionals in the field who’s expertise and hard work deliver H.B. Neild’s continued success.”
