Warfel Construction Company is pleased to announce Vice President Brett Calabretta will be joining the company’s ownership team.
“Identifying new owners at Warfel is a responsibility we take seriously,” said Ralph Simpson, CEO of Warfel Construction, in a statement to employees last week. “As we tell our clients, we need people that share our values of honesty, integrity, accountability, initiative and teamwork. We also need capable people that understand the enormous risk that is inherent in this type of business and people that have the fortitude to push on when difficulties arise.”
“We are excited to welcome Brett to the Warfel ownership team,” added Warfel President Matthew Hartzler. “He epitomizes the values and culture our organization stands for, and his positive contributions to the business have been an example to others. Throughout his tenure, Brett has helped our team cultivate long lasting partnerships that deliver our mission: Clients for Life. I look forward to his continued leadership as we grow the business and provide opportunity for others.”
Calabretta joined Warfel in 2005 as a Project Engineer and held positions as Project Manager and Senior Project Manager before starting the company’s Preconstruction department and being named Vice President in 2013. He currently provides senior leadership to the company’s Preconstruction, Estimating, Virtual Design and Construction, and Business Development and Marketing teams and is a member of Warfel’s executive leadership team.
Calabretta holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University, a Masters of Business Administration from York College, is a LEED Accredited Professional and a licensed Professional Engineer.
Calabretta will serve on Warfel’s ownership team alongside Simpson, Hartzler, and Rupert Taylor, CFO.
Calabretta lives in Lancaster with his wife and four children.
