James McHugh Construction Co., the Chicago-based construction company responsible for some of the city's most recognizable structures, has announced the appointment of Dave Alexander to President. Alexander assumed the role January 1, 2018.
Alexander has been with McHugh his entire post-collegiate career. He began with the company as an intern and has served as a project manager, chief estimator, and, most recently, senior vice president.

"Our clients have entrusted him with their most important projects for more than 30 years, and our team has grown stronger and more capable under his leadership. We have every confidence he is the right person to lead our team toward continued success with the passion and integrity our clients have come to expect."
