He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Wentworth Institute of Technology. 

Mike LaPointe joins Landry/French as a project superintendent with over 20 years of experience in higher education, healthcare, office, and retail projects.  He most recently worked for Vermont-based PC Construction.  Mike has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering from Northeastern University, and a Master of Science in Engineering Management from Clarkson University.

Brian Donovan, also previously with PC Construction for 17 years, joins Landry/French as an assistant superintendent.

“Attracting the best talent in the industry is what differentiates Landry/French from our competition, and it’s even more rewarding when we can reach across state lines and bring Maine residents back home,” said CEO Kevin French. “Being named Best Places to Work in Maine for four consecutive years helps attract top talent.”
