Hickory Construction promotes three to leadership positions

Hickory Construction has promoted three team members to key leadership positions.

Dawn Pace has been named director of project coordination. Tim Patten has been named chief scheduler and project manager. Steve Sanderson has been promoted to director of field operations.

“We’re very proud to celebrate the growth of three of our very own,” said Ben Pinnell, president of Hickory Construction, Inc. “These promotions not only recognize their years of service and hard work with us, but also dovetail their individual skillsets with how we’re always aiming to enhance our customer experience – so, a ‘natural fit’ you could say.”

Pace joined Hickory Construction in 2017 as an administrative assistant and has worked to gain knowledge and skills that continue to progress her career at the company. Prior to her most recent promotion, she was preconstruction manager. 

“Dawn’s journey is a testament to her relentless drive and exceptional leadership,” Pinnell said. “In her new role, she will be leading Hickory’s project coordinators, who ensure all phases of each project transition seamlessly, while continuing to help guide clients through the building process.”

Patten joined Hickory Construction in 2020 and was most recently a project manager.

“Tim’s deep understanding of our projects and tireless work ethic have made him an invaluable asset,” said Pinnell. “As chief scheduler and project manager, he will continue to drive efficiency and keep things running smoothly while leading vital projects for Hickory.“

Sanderson, who joined Hickory Construction in 2006, previously was a senior project manager. 

“Steve has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, problem-solving ability and a commitment to quality,” Pinnell said. “In his new role, he will oversee all field operations, ensuring that our projects continue to reach the highest standards of excellence.”
