Jeremy’s path to construction started long before his first day on a jobsite. Growing up, he was surrounded by the trades; his father was an electrician, and his uncle worked as a carpenter. This early exposure sparked his interest and provided him with a clear direction. He enrolled in a vocational high school that offered a house and mill program, where he gained valuable experience through a co-op placement with a residential builder. This hands-on experience, combined with his desire to keep learning, laid the foundation for a career characterized by craftsmanship, leadership, and growth.
After working with the residential builder throughout high school and college, Jeremy transitioned to the commercial side of the industry, starting as a framer for a drywall contractor. This role eventually led him into project management, significantly broadening his understanding of the construction process.
Nearly nine years ago, Jeremy joined Dimeo as an Assistant Superintendent, bringing with him a foundation built on field experience and a deep understanding of the trades. His commitment to collaboration and quality quickly stood out, earning him opportunities to take on greater responsibility across a variety of projects. Today, as a Superintendent, Jeremy plays a key role in leading teams and coordinating complex field operations from start to finish. He credits communication and planning as the foundation of his leadership approach. “Open communication and pre-planning are the number one priorities,” he says. “When everyone, from the field team to subcontractors, understands the plan and their role in it, that’s when projects succeed.”
Among his career highlights, Jeremy points to his work on the Citizens Bank Campus project as a pivotal experience. “It was a large build, and I was able to learn and develop multiple skills from a wide range of superintendents,” he says. “That project showed me how strong team dynamics lead to strong project outcomes. There’s no ‘I’ in any of the builds we do, it’s the team that makes the job successful.”
He finds motivation in seeing projects come to life and in the impact they leave behind. “Watching a project evolve from a blank canvas into a completed structure is one of the most rewarding parts of the job,” he says. Jeremy takes pride in knowing that the projects he helps deliver become lasting parts of the communities they serve.
As we recognize Careers in Construction Month, Jeremy encourages others to consider the opportunities this industry offers. “You’re constantly learning and being challenged in new ways,” he says. He notes that no two days are the same, and that the personal and professional growth you gain from building something meaningful every day is unlike anything in any other career.
