Sukut Construction Appoints Eddie Juarez as President

SANTA ANA, Calif. — Sukut Construction has announced the appointment of Eddie Juarez as president. In this role, Juarez will oversee the company’s day-to-day operations and overall performance, while working closely with executive leadership to guide Sukut’s long-term strategic direction and continued growth across key markets.

Juarez brings more than 20 years of experience in the heavy civil construction industry, with a proven track record managing complex projects across mass grading, environmental services, landfill development, disaster response, and public works. He joined Sukut in 2006 as a project engineer and has advanced through several key leadership positions, including project manager, vice president of environmental, vice president of energy, and, most recently, vice president of operations.

What sets Juarez apart is his people-first leadership approach. Over nearly two decades at Sukut, he has built a reputation as a steady, approachable leader who is genuinely invested in the people around him. He believes the company’s success is a direct reflection of the people who show up every day to build it and leads accordingly. Frequently present in the field, he stays connected to crews and the work, measuring success not only by project outcomes but by how his teams grow along the way.

Throughout his career, Juarez has demonstrated strong leadership, sound judgment, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. He has successfully led diverse teams on large-scale projects while building lasting relationships with clients, partners, and stakeholders. A strong advocate for safety, Juarez serves as the company’s number one safety officer, reinforcing Sukut’s safety-first culture across all operations. For Juarez, safety is not just a program, but a shared responsibility rooted in caring for people.

As president, Juarez steps into the role with the trust of the people around him and a clear conviction: that Sukut's future is built by supporting the people who make the work happen.

“Eddie has been an integral part of Sukut’s success for two decades,” said Mike Crawford, chief executive officer of Sukut Construction. “His leadership, experience, and deep understanding of our operations make him the right person to guide the company forward. Eddie has demonstrated his commitment to Sukut’s values throughout his career, and I am confident that under his leadership, Sukut will continue to grow, innovate, and deliver exceptional results for our clients.”
