WASHINGTON, D.C. –  Balfour Beatty announces the appointment of Dan Novack as the president of the company’s building operations in the Mid-Atlantic. Novack succeeds former Mid-Atlantic president, Mike Phillips, in providing strategic oversight for construction operations in Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, and sustaining market growth in the healthcare, federal, and education sectors. Novack will also work alongside local leadership to help leverage collaboration, innovation, best practices, and culture embedment strategies that grow, attract, retain, and develop team members.

Additionally, Novack has been integral in shaping and embedding Balfour Beatty’s people-first culture which embraces the essence of being a Relentless Ally delivering project excellence and enhancing communities.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as President and lead our teams in building new futures in the Mid-Atlantic,” said Novack. “I look forward to continued growth and sustained success in our division, which I believe is the best way to provide our people with growth opportunities of their own.”
