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. In Greg, we found a transformational leader who will spearhead our workforce development, environment, health and safety initiatives, which will help our members deliver the highest value during the construction process and, as a result, be leaders within the industry,” said ABC President and CEO Mike Bellaman. 

In his new role, Sizemore will use more than 30 years of experience as a workforce development leader at major construction and engineering firms Zachry Industrial and BE&K, to transform ABC’s craft training, recruitment and retention efforts. 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. Previously, Sizemore worked for BE&K Inc. in Birmingham, Ala., with recent roles as a manager of construction training and an employee training manager.
