03 Jun Michael Whittaker Returns to United Construction as COO
The United Construction Executive Team is thrilled to announce Michael Whittaker’s return to the company as Chief Operating Officer. As COO, Mike will oversee day-to-day operations and be a vital asset in helping United Construction continue to enhance operations and company culture.
Mike originally joined the United Team fresh out of college as an Assistant Estimator/Project Engineer. Over the course of eight years, he worked his way up through United’s preconstruction and operations departments. He has since gone on to serve in construction leadership roles, throughout Northern Nevada and California, working with private and public works customers to manage industrial, government, higher education, hospitality and specialty projects.
With a passion that started when he was a curious child who enjoyed building forts and working with his hands, Mike loves construction. After high school, Mike joined the United States Marine Corps Reserve, where he served as a Sergeant for eight years. Simultaneously, he attended California State University, Chico. His childhood interest in construction inspired him to earn a bachelor’s degree in construction management.
Mike is beyond excited to return to United commenting, “I am honored to come back and manage operations for the company where I got my start. This is more than a job change – it feels like a homecoming and I can’t wait to make a contribution.”
