Jake Nabholz will be the next chief executive officer of Nabholz Construction Co., founded 70 years ago by his grandfather, the company said in a news release Tuesday.
Nabholz is a regional president for the company.
Greg Williams, the company’s CEO since 2014, will remain chairman of the Nabholz board when the changes take effect Jan. 1.
Nabholz has been with the company for 23 years, starting as a summer laborer and continuing after his graduation from the University of Louisiana Monroe with a degree in construction management. He is the grandson of company founder Bob Nabholz and the son of Executive Vice President David Nabholz.
The Nabholz board also elected Brad Hegeman as vice chairman and chief strategy officer.
The geographic area Jake Nabholz previously oversaw will be split into two regions. Andrew Ad-long will be the regional president of the company’s construction operations in central and northeast Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. Michael Feamster will be the regional president of construction operations in Oklahoma.
Founded in 1949, Nabholz is a multiservice contractor providing construction, industrial, excavation, specialty, environmental, and railroad services with operations in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Connecticut.
