PEABODY, MA - The Congress Companies, a full service construction management firm headquartered in Peabody, Massachusetts, is pleased to announce the appointment of Stephen T. King as Project Executive, and Joshua R. Roccapriore as Project Manager.
Steve King began his career at Congress in 1989 as a Project Manager. For more than twenty years, King served Congress as Project Manager for over 50 construction projects in the Skilled Nursing, Assisted Living, CCRC and educational sectors.
In his role as Project Executive, King, a 30 - year veteran in the building construction industry, will oversee project managers on Congress building projects. In addition, he will work closely with the Director of Pre-Construction Services to insure a seamless transition from pre- construction, planning and estimating to the active construction phase of company projects. King will provide seasoned and experienced leadership to Congress’ project management staff.
In his new role as Project Manager, Roccapriore will directly manage one of the company’s projects. Roccapriore initially served as an Assistant Superintendent in the field for Congress from 2009- 2012. He was promoted to Assistant Project Manager in 2012, and has worked on numerous successful senior living projects for the firm. Joshua will initially be assigned to a new assisted living project in Hillsborough, New Jersey for a valued repeat client of the firm.
According to Congress CEO William A. Nicholson, “Josh is a bright young professional, with excellent technical and practical construction skills. He has worked with some very talented senior Congress Superintendents and Project Managers over the past 7 years, who have shown him the fundamentals of excellence in construction management. Josh has a bright future with Congress and in the construction industry, and we are thrilled to offer him this opportunity to advance.”
“Steve King’s multi-decade tenure with Congress is widely known in the industry as well. In that regard, this promotion is both well-deserved and a strategic planning step, which will improve the company’s construction management department, allow Steve to share his wealth of experience developed over years of working with Congress, and enhance the service we provide to our customers. Steve gets it; he simply knows what our customers want and is a proven performer.”
Nicholson added, “We will continue to promote from within to fill the project management positions Steve and Josh formerly held. We are fortunate to have developed several other very talented young professionals in the company who are ready to advance. These promotions have definitely improved our construction team.”
