Behind every essential facility Erickson-Hall constructs, leaders like Justin Sinnott help ensure project teams have the support they need to succeed. As Vice President of Corporate Services, Justin oversees the operational network that keeps regional offices and field teams connected across Southern California.
Coming from an engineering family, Justin entered the industry in 2008 with a goal of building lasting structures for local communities. Today, he focuses on strengthening the systems, resources and people that allow Erickson-Hall to deliver critical facilities for school districts, community colleges and first responders. By investing in smarter systems and talented people, Justin helps keep the firm connected and responsive as it grows. That shared sense of responsibility reflects Erickson-Hall’s culture as a 100% employee-owned company, where every team member has a direct stake in the quality of their work.
“Our goal in the corporate services world is to make sure we are providing support, not obstacles, so that the project teams can continue to deliver great projects,” Justin said.
For Justin, one of the most impactful changes in recent years has been Erickson-Hall’s continuous investment in automated tools and information systems. Over the last few years, his team has focused on centralizing communication and standardizing tools like Procore across all project teams. This change has resulted in greater operational consistency and quicker decision-making throughout the entire firm.
The internal push for consistency aligns with a broader shift in the industry, as clients prioritize predictability and thorough planning. Erickson-Hall is seeing clients bring on construction partners earlier to collaborate on cost-saving ideas, explore alternative delivery methods and emphasize long-term building functionality and efficiency. By modernizing operational systems, Justin ensures the firm is positioned to meet these early-stage demands and deliver high-performing, long-lasting buildings to clients.
“Long-term perspective is the true measure of success,” Justin said. “Delivering real value requires more than just hitting an initial deadline. It means ensuring high building quality, maintaining client satisfaction and making sure the facility operates reliably years down the road.”
To achieve this, Justin believes communication is vital in every project. Future construction managers will have to balance increasingly complex projects and large networks of people. For Justin, success comes down to a manager’s ability to build trust, solve problems collaboratively and unite the firm. This relationship-driven mindset is central to Erickson-Hall’s culture. By keeping people at the center of corporate services, Justin empowers his teams to deliver better projects and outcomes for the communities Erickson-Hall serves.
