Associated Construction names McConnell as new vice president
Hartford, CT The Associated Construction Company has promoted Kevin McConnell to the position of vice president. In this new capacity McConnell will continue to be a partner and lead the operations of the company with president Joseph Jankowski.
Since first joining Associated Construction in 2021, McConnell served as the director of pre-construction. In this role, he exceled in problem-solving, conceptual estimating, and budget optimization, while also being instrumental in landing multi-million-dollar projects.
Jankowski said, “Kevin is a rising star with a forward-thinking, global view and collaborative nature. He broadens his responsibilities, promotes the company culture, and recognizes trends. He has strong business acumen, leads his department, develops career pathways, and participates in strategic planning.”
The firm was founded in 1942 by Angelo Giardini, and subsequently taken over by his son Tom Giardini in 1975. Jankowski joined Associated Construction at a young age and quickly earned his position in the line of succession, which now continues with McConnell.
Associated Construction has a diverse clientele that includes commercial office, academic, residential, medical, and critical infrastructure such as data centers. McConnell’s promotion will push the company further to uphold its longstanding vision of Building the Way to a Better Place.
