Hoar Construction continued its executive reshuffle Monday, naming longtime leader John Goodner as region president overseeing key Southeastern markets following the recent appointment of Turner Burton as CEO.

Goodner will oversee the general contractor’s markets of Alabama, Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas.

“It’s an honor to step into this role at a company that has been the foundation of my career for the past two decades,” said Goodner. “Hoar’s strength has always been its people, its meaningful client relationships and a shared commitment to our core values. I look forward to working alongside our teams across the Southeast as we continue delivering projects that have a lasting impact on the communities we serve.”

Goodner has been at Hoar in a project manager role before working his way up to positions including director of division operations for the Florida Division and senior vice president of operations in the firm’s Birmingham headquarters, overseeing both the Alabama and Florida divisions.

His impact has included improvement on internal training for business operations, implementing a regular schedule of both virtual and in-person classes available to employees of all levels, and leading operations for some of the biggest projects in Hoar’s portfolio.

Goodner’s most notable projects have included the STEM + Agricultural Sciences Complex at Auburn University and the Medley mixed-use project in Johns Creek Town Center in Georgia.

Now, the Auburn graduate will be overseeing strategy and growth, new business development, client relations and internal talent development for several of Hoar’s key divisions.

Burton weighed in on the promotion as well, expressing confidence that Goodner is the man for the job.

“John’s leadership over the past two decades has consistently reflected the values that define our culture at Hoar,” said Burton. “He leads with integrity, treats people the right way and is deeply committed to supporting our teams and their families. John also embodies our relentless pursuit of improvement, always looking for ways to learn from every project and adapt when challenges arise. Those qualities, combined with his experience and dedication to our people and clients, make him exceptionally well suited to guide our teams and continue strengthening our presence across the Southeast.”
