“Working in construction is a whirlwind, but if I’ve learned anything in my 20 years in the industry, it’s that teamwork and vision are the keys to true success,” Carlson said. “I’m looking forward to collaborating with the great team at Commodore Builders to accomplish common goals, solve problems, and build upon the company’s success for years to come.”

Prior to joining Commodore Builders, Carlson worked as a Senior Project Manager at Columbia for nine years. Before that, she was a Project Manager at A.J. Martini.

Over the course of his career, Wajda has been tasked with a variety of responsibilities from contract execution, project pricing, and subcontractor procurement, to maintaining schedules and relationships with owners, architects, and partners, and more.

“As a surveyor, I was able to see raw land transformed and developed. Now, as my own career has developed, I’ve continued to value the process of participating in the lifeline of a project,” Wajda said. “Collaborating with internal and external teams and jumping over hurdles together, that’s what makes each day interesting for me.”

“We are pleased to welcome Brandt to Commodore Builders and have confidence in his ability to execute and support our team’s vision for success,” Albanese said. “I look forward to working closely with Brandt and to seeing his contributions shape the future of our Strategic Projects Group in 2022 and beyond.”

“I’ve always been interested in construction. Driving up to New Hampshire as a kid, I was fascinated by all the cranes I saw in Boston,” Finucci said. “My philosophy has always been to plan the work, communicate how it will be done, and follow that plan to a successful conclusion. In my new role, I’m looking forward to working with colleagues old and new to support the growth of Commodore Builders.”

“With his extensive experience setting up and managing high-profile projects throughout the region and beyond, Rob is the perfect fit for our newly-created Senior Project Planner position,” Albanese said. “His talent and expertise will enable Commodore Builders in its commitment to achieve its goal of ‘Excellence in Execution’.”
