Walbridge, a full-service construction company in Detroit, appointed Ross Linton, Chris Morgan, and Andy Wasiniak group vice president of self-perform, vehicle manufacturing, and buildings, respectively.
They will report to Joe Castellano, senior vice president and operations lead for Walbridge.
In their new roles, Linton, Morgan, and Wasiniak will work with Walbridge customers to manage and coordinate resources, policies, and talent. They will also pursue business in new markets that align with Walbridge’s core services.
“Walbridge has experienced significant growth in several core markets the past five years,” says Mike Haller, CEO of Walbridge. “The operations team adapted effortlessly while successfully managing and delivering several mega-projects. I’m confident with the team’s extensive industry experience, their long-standing commitment to Walbridge and our customers, which averages nearly 23 years, and ability to create strong partnerships, the company will continue providing world-class performance and is positioned for future growth.”

He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and a Bachelor of Science degree in physics and math from Hope College in Holland.
In his new role, Wasiniak is responsible for leading Walbridge’s buildings group with sectors in higher education, healthcare, multi-family residential, research and development, office, and aviation.
