Jon McNaught

Boston, MA LeftField has hired Jon McNaught as senior project manager. In this role, McNaught is responsible for managing the planning, design, and construction of lab projects on behalf of owners and developers. Prior to joining LeftField, he managed a wide range of R&D and cGMP manufacturing projects in the life science sector, as well as higher education construction projects from ground up core and shell projects to interior fit-outs. His past success with technical projects, coupled with his strong communication skills, and ability to identify and mitigate project risks makes him a great addition to the life science team. 

“I had the benefit of working with Jon prior to him joining LeftField so I was well aware of his strengths. For the past year and a half Jon has been supporting one of our premier life science clients in the planning, design, construction, and now relocation of 5 of their tenants to a newly repositioned 400,000 sf space in Cambridge. In addition, Jon supported Massachusetts Biomedical initiatives on their 8,000 sf expansion in Worcester. We’re thrilled to have Jon on our team and I’m pleased to be working with him again. ” – Aaron Hall, Executive Director of Science and Technology at LeftField
