NEWPORT BEACH, CA––McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., one of California’s preeminent non-residential building contractors, announced that Randy Highland (top right photo) has assumed the position of president, California region.
Highland moved into this new role in January 2012 following a six-month transition period with Carter Chappell (middle left photo) the company’s former president, California region. Chappell retired in December 2011 after 30 years at McCarthy, and will continue to serve on the McCarthy board of directors in a corporate oversight role.
Based in the firm’s Newport Beach, Calif. office, Highland is responsible for the financial performance and overall operations of McCarthy’s Southern California and Northern Pacific Divisions.
These duties include participation in McCarthy Building Companies’ executive committee and board as well as overseeing the marketing, estimating, scheduling, safety, administrative and financial functions throughout California and the Pacific Northwest.
“Randy was recruited by McCarthy more than 20 years ago because of his skills, passion and leadership potential,” said McCarthy CEO Michael Bolen (lower right photo). “He has clearly demonstrated a strong commitment to innovation, quality, client service and social responsibility throughout his career at McCarthy, and I am confident that Randy will lead the California Region to even greater heights.”
At 52 years old, Highland has played a significant role in the company’s success over the last 23 years. He returns to his roots in McCarthy’s Newport Beach office subsequent to serving as McCarthy’s Nevada/Utah Division President from 2004 to 2011.
While Highland was president in Nevada, the firm was named among the “Best Places to Work,” “Contractor of the Year,” and “Safest Contractor.” Despite a challenging economy, the division grew from $50 million to $200 million, and Highland was instrumental in positioning the Division as a top community based builder with expertise in a variety of markets.
