Warfel Construction Company is pleased to announce that Conlan Swope has been named President. Matthew Hartzler, formerly President and Chief Executive Officer, will take a step back from the day-to-day operation of the business, but remain in his role of CEO.
“Organizational development and planning, as well as a consistent focus on the growth of our employees, are foundational to us as we approach strategic thinking,” said CEO Matthew Hartzler. “This transition is intentional and a direct result of several years of thoughtful planning and preparation.”
Holding a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Penn State University, Swope joined Warfel as a project intern in 2008 and was hired as a Project Engineer in 2009.
