These include: Parker Schoening, project executive; Roya Vermillion, preconstruction executive; Eddy Einem, senior project manager and division aviation market leader; and Brandon Tessier, senior project manager. These personnel changes highlight the extensive experience incumbent with the leadership team and support the office’s projected 2023 revenue of over $150 million, a 130 percent increase year-over-year.

“Since establishing a presence in the Southeast five years ago, Swinerton has grown exponentially and is repeatedly selected as a partner of choice for corporate interiors, aviation projects, multifamily communities and other commercial builds,” says Derek Mosiman, vice president and division manager, Swinerton’s Atlanta Division. “As our business has grown, so has our Atlanta leadership. These executives consistently show up with the commitment to excellence and innovation for which Swinerton is recognized.”

Parker Schoening, previously a Senior project Manager, is promoted to Project Executive. Originally hired in 2011 as an intern, Schoening advanced through various positions including Project Engineer, Assistant Superintendent and Project Manager. Schoening is known for his passion for the built environment and dedication to learning from others including trades people on the construction site to various mentors within Swinerton and the industry. Schoening is also tasked with leading operational activities within the division and managing a team of administrative professionals.

“I’m excited for the opportunity to work across our project teams to support our industry-leading people and culture,” says Schoening. “My goal is to build high-performing teams and cultivate long-term, trusted client relationships.” As Project Executive, Schoening is tasked with growing the division’s market share and overseeing Atlanta’s project teams.

Roya Vermillion was promoted from Senior Project Manager to Preconstruction Executive. He is an industry veteran with 13 years of experience, more than half of which has been with Swinerton. Vermillion excels in preconstruction planning, subcontractor negotiation and project closeout and ensures superior quality and a safe environment in compliance with the construction schedule. As Preconstruction Executive, she facilitates the preconstruction process, which encompasses cost estimates, trade bidding and management, bid preparation and submission and the compilation of Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) figures.

With a construction career spanning 24 years, Eddy Einem transferred to Atlanta from Swinerton’s Los Angeles office, where he most recently served as Senior Project Manager. He retains his title in Atlanta while becoming the division’s aviation market leader, overseeing Swinerton’s expanded construction opportunities at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and other regional airports including Fulton County Airport and Cobb County International Airport. Leading the Atlanta aviation team, Einem’s responsibilities include risk management, cost and budget management, customer service, safety, quality control and scheduling. Throughout the construction and aviation arenas, he is respected for his organizational skills and attention to detail, as well as his trustworthiness and communication.
