鶹ý Appoints Higman as Vice President of Regional Construction Operations for California

SAN FRANCISCO (March 31, 2026) – 鶹ý announces the appointment of Brooke Higman to Vice President of Regional Construction Operations for its California operations. In this expanded leadership role, Higman will oversee construction activities across the state, strengthening operational excellence and driving strategic growth.

A graduate of Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Engineering, Higman has more than 25 years of experience in the construction industry, including five years with 鶹ý. She joined 鶹ý as a Project Executive supporting the Sacramento team before advancing to the role of Operations Manager. In that capacity, she played a pivotal role in guiding project teams, establishing consistent operational processes and supporting the delivery of complex Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) projects across the region.

In her new role, Higman will work closely with the General Manager, Regional Safety leader and operational leadership teams to ensure all California projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in alignment with 鶹ý’s standard operating procedures. She also will help to shape regional operational strategy, develop and apply consistent performance metrics, and guide continuous improvement initiatives to support sustained regional growth.

As 鶹ý’s California business continues to expand, driven by strong market demand and recent major project awards, Higman will lead long-term staffing and organizational planning during a period of rapid, multiyear growth.

“鶹ý’s Western region is positioned for tremendous opportunity, and I’m excited to help guide the next phase of our growth. I’m committed to building strong teams, supporting operational excellence and deepening the relationships that make our work so impactful,” said Higman. “It’s a privilege to lead alongside such a talented group of people.”

“Brooke is an exceptional leader whose operational expertise, industry experience and people-first leadership style make her the ideal choice for this elevated role,” added Steve Lind, Vice President and General Manager of 鶹ý’s California Operations. “She has played a critical part in building a strong and capable operations team in the Western region. As we continue to grow, Brooke’s leadership will be essential to delivering on the promises we make to our clients and partners.”
