JT Magen, a national construction firm specializing in preconstruction, construction management, design-build, and general contracting across a variety of industries, announces that Bud Norris has joined the firm’s Austin office as Business Development Representative. The news comes as the office marks its one-year anniversary in the Texas region and celebrates its dramatic growth and success.
The firm’s Austin office, overseen by JT Magen Vice President Vincent Ryan and led by Southwest Regional Director Dan Longshore, has seen substantial growth in its first year, tripling the team and conducting more than $80 million in pre-construction or construction projects across the technology, law, retail, office, university, manufacturing and distribution sectors. With a focus on building relationships and winning new assignments across several sectors – commercial interiors, retail and broadcast + studio, to name a few – JT Magen’s Austin office is geared up for a year of dynamic development and impactful contributions to the region’s construction landscape.
“JT Magen is known for its experience and commitment to project safety and success. Our team was proud to come together a year ago and start something new,” said Mr. Longshore. “In the short span of one year, our performance has surpassed expectations, and we treasure the relationships we’ve fostered as we built high-quality projects for companies in the region.”
Norris will lead business development efforts for JT Magen down in Texas, playing a crucial role in the firm’s regional growth and expansion. Following his storied 14-year career in Major League Baseball, most recently with the St. Louis Cardinals, Norris transitioned his skills to the construction industry. He will focus on building relationships in the construction market and sourcing new work in the region, where his local network is set to play a role in the company’s ongoing growth and expansion efforts.
“The recruitment of Bud Norris, with his genuine and authentic disposition, will support the firm’s business development efforts as we enhance engagement and amplify our footprint in Austin,” added Longshore. “Norris’s unique perspective, combining athletic discipline with business savvy, is poised to be a significant asset in navigating the competitive landscape of Texas’s construction market.”
