Steven Wassersug

Canton, MA Timberline Construction, a full-service construction management firm, has hired Steven Wassersug, as new president of the firm. 

Wassersug will utilize over 30 years of construction and real estate industry experience to drive growth and continue expanding Timberline’s market share and operational excellence. Wassersug’s leadership and team-building skills will enhance the firm’s operations and drive for excellence in client service and quality work. Wassersug takes pride in making a positive impact in the construction industry, exceeding client expectations as well as fostering a culture that makes Timberline a truly exceptional place to work.

“I am honored to join Timberline Construction where I will have the pleasure of working with a talented, hardworking and dedicated team. I look forward to helping Timberline continue it growth and drive for excellence, build long-lasting relationships with our clients, and build a culture that will make Timberline one of the best places to work in the industry,” said Wassersug.

With his many years in the real estate industry, he has worn many hats – an owner, investor, and contractor – which offers Timberline clients a unique perspective and important value add. At a previous firm, Wassersug grew business throughout the New England region, which included commercial development, corporate interiors and ground-up projects for industry-leading organizations across diverse industries from science and technology to industrial, manufacturing and higher education. Working closely with brokers, property managers and development teams, Steve was able to establish real estate and development skills which gave him valuable insight into their daily needs.

Wassersug also spent many years at a real estate private equity firm, where he oversaw design and construction on all new and existing projects. 

He played a key role in the acquisition process and worked closely with asset management through the life cycle of each investment. The experience gives him valuable insight into understanding what Owners required for a successful project. 

Timberline has embarked on an aggressive growth strategy by retaining new talent and continuing to train and develop their best-in-class team to set the stage for projected and dramatic growth. Steve worked with most of Timberline’s field operations team and the entire senior leadership team for over 15 years at a previous firm. Steve’s appointment as President was a strategic, power move to rejoin the Timberline’s company partners and senior leadership team. With deep-rooted relationships and extensive experience in the construction industry together, Timberline’s executive leadership team is a stronger than ever.

“I’ve never been so proud of our team as I am today. We are building one of the best companies in the Greater Boston area. It starts with having the best people and providing them with a culture where they thrive, develop, and achieve both professional and personal goals. Steve Wassersug is a tremendous new asset to Timberline. I am confident that with Steve’s leadership and tenacious work ethic, together, we will we elevate the firm to an even higher level internally and externally to the companies we serve,” said Chief Executive Officer Steven P. Kelly.
