Carolinas special projects construction veteran Jason Hlewicki rises the ranks.
CHARLOTTE, NC – Swinerton, an industry-leading commercial general contractor with offices nationwide, announces the promotion of industry expert Jason Hlewicki to Director of Client Services for its Carolinas division in support of Swinerton’s East Coast operations. Hlewicki brings extensive industry experience alongside familiarity with Swinerton’s standards, having managed over $1 billion in construction projects throughout his career. In his new position, Hlewicki plays an instrumental role in stewarding existing client relationships with the company’s intentional approach to market growth, driving new business, and aligning the pipeline with overall business strategy and economic trends.
Since joining the Swinerton Carolinas division in 2019, Hlewicki has successfully represented and elevated Swinerton and its affiliate companies in the Carolinas across a variety of markets, from higher education and commercial interiors to public-private partnerships (P3) and mass timber.
“Jason embodies Swinerton’s client-centric approach alongside its expansive project capabilities,” shares Kevin Smith, vice president and division manager of Swinerton’s Carolinas division. “His operational expertise and depth of market knowledge allow him to uniquely partner with Swinerton’s valued clientele, understand their needs and strategic goals, and deliver their vision. Promoting Jason to this position reflects not only our confidence in Jason’s relationships across the region but also our commitment to earning repeat business through exceeding expectations and executing at the highest level.”
Through his almost 30-year tenure in the construction industry, Hlewicki has gained deep insight into the Carolinas market, building decades-long partnerships and learning to navigate ever-changing and varying local building standards. In his previous role as Director of Special Projects for Swinerton’s Charlotte division, Hlewicki was responsible for overseeing all preconstruction, estimating, procurement, and construction of interior spaces. He boasts a portfolio of over $102 million and 600,000+ square feet of successful projects with Swinerton alone, many of which are gaining significant media attention.
“I am excited about the platform this role affords me to drive growth, identify new strategies and opportunities, and build relationships with local market leaders to expand our business in the Carolinas,” shares Hlewicki. “Swinerton has an inclusive, transparent and collaborative culture that I am excited to share with our clients.”
Hlewicki shines not only in his professional accomplishments but also in his philanthropic endeavors. A longtime community servant, Hlewicki currently serves on the Board of 24 Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to changing the course of cancer through cancer navigation support and survivor quality-of-life programs. In addition to his hundreds of hours of volunteer time, he spearheaded Swinerton’s involvement, collectively raising nearly $100,000 for those fighting cancer. Extending his leadership skills to charitable partners, he has also been involved in the Boomer Esiason Foundation, CoreNet Carolinas, the Board of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, and CRE x CLT (Corporate Real Estate Connecting Charlotte). He is also a vital part of Swinerton’s Corporate Social Responsibility efforts identifying community outreach opportunities and meaningful corporate giving programs.
Since expanding to the Southeast in 2018, the Carolinas Division has constructed nearly $400 million of commercial environments. The dedicated team of 90 construction leaders specializes in corporate interiors and buildings, healthcare, education, restaurants and hospitality, office, multifamily and mass timber construction.
