Boston-based builder Suffolk has named industry veteran Brett Earnest as executive vice president, the contractor announced on September 14.
Suffolk says adding Earnest to its fold will help it grow in a number of sectors, including aviation and transportation, critical projects, federal and gaming. Earnest will oversee and guide these sectors nationally.

Prior to joining Suffolk, Earnest spent 20 years working for Clark Construction, based in Bethesda, Maryland. He was most recently head of Clark’s Pacific Northwest division, where he oversaw projects such as the $1.4 billion Washington State Convention Center addition and the SeaTac International Arrivals facility of $780 million in Seattle, according to the release.
Earnest graduated from Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and Management and a Bachelor of Science in Economics.
Suffolk has been busy. Earlier this month, the contractor renovations completed at Gillette Stadium worth $250 million, the home of the NFL’s New England Patriots and the MLS’s New England Revolution. In July, the contractor closed the inaugural fund of its venture capital arm, Suffolk Technologies, with $110 million in commitments.
