CHICAGO, Illinois, January 5, 2024 - Richard Group is pleased to welcome Steve Daunis to the team as our Lead Vice President of US Operations. Daunis brings over 30 years of experience in the construction industry, leading teams to achieve their strategic growth initiatives. Daunis previously served as the Vice President of Project Management for MasTec (NYSE:MTZ).

“Our vision for Steve is evident as I have known him personally for over a decade,” said Jed Richard, President of Richard Group, “I can think of no better person to lead our strategic growth initiatives in building, power, technology and infrastructure.”

Daunis was instrumental in the growth of MasTec from $4.5B in revenue to over $14.5B over the last five years through mergers and acquisitions, and purchase of several companies including Intren, Lemartec, and Henkels and McCoy. Daunis’s experience also includes leading two internationally recognized companies as Vice President of International Operations. He is a subject matter expert in various capacities as Vice President of Project Controls and well versed in the construction of numerous market sectors including federal, commercial, power delivery, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, data centers, and K-12 construction.

Over the last five years, Richard Group experienced tremendous growth, more than doubling in size. As the company is determined to continue this growth moving into 2024 and beyond, it is critical to continue to add experienced leaders that understand how to scale growth while maintaining Richard Group’s reputation for quality and culture of excellence.

“We are in fascinating times in our wonderful construction industry. Bold vision and operational execution are required to prosper,” said Richard.
