Warfel Construction Company is excited to announce that Conlan Swope has been appointed President. Matthew Hartzler, who previously held the roles of President and Chief Executive Officer, will continue as CEO but will step back from the day-to-day operations of the business.
“Organizational development and employee growth are essential to our strategic planning,” said CEO Matthew Hartzler. “This transition is intentional and results from several years of careful planning and preparation.”
Conlan Swope holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Penn State University. He joined Warfel as a project intern in 2008 and became a Project Engineer in 2009. Before joining the ownership team in 2019, Conlan held various operational roles, most recently serving as Vice President of Operations.
