WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 2, 2015) – Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) announced industry leader Greg Sizemore as its vice president of environment, health, safety (EH&S) and workforce development for ABC. Sizemore is tasked with directing ABC’s long-range strategic objectives related to creating an innovative, skilled, productive, healthy and safe workforce. “We know there is a skilled workforce shortage in this industry and have a deeply held belief that all incidents on construction jobsites are preventable; therefore, we choose to seize the opportunity to leverage innovation to drive productivity and safety.

A strategic focus of his role will be to integrate innovative practices and new technologies into the craft as a way to increase productivity and create incident and injury-free jobsites. Most recently, Sizemore served as senior manager of craft development for Zachry Industrial Inc. in San Antonio, Texas, a role in which he provided enterprise-wide workforce development expertise to business development leaders, project management teams and clients.
