Burns & McDonnell has promoted Jason Cabral to general manager of its Northeast region, overseeing offices in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Cabral succeeds Jerry Fan, who is shifting into a broader role as executive vice president and general manager of the firm’s Americas North Region.
Cabral joined Burns & McDonnell in 2006 as a project manager on transmission projects for utilities in the Northeast. He later led the firm’s transmission and distribution group, and in 2023 became manager of the regional construction group.
Last year, he was promoted to vice president of Northeast operations.
In his new role, Cabral will direct growth strategies and client work in sectors such as aviation, manufacturing, energy and infrastructure.
The Kansas City, Missouri-based engineering, architecture and construction firm also appointed Jacob Blanton as Northeast operations director. Blanton, who has worked in the region for six years, most recently served as vice president and regional manager for the transmission and distribution group.
Burns & McDonnell, founded in 1898, is a 100% employee-owned company with more than 75 offices worldwide. Its Connecticut office is located in Wallingford.
