SAN FRANCISCO, CA — California general contractor Webcor has elevated longtime company leader Jitendra “Jit” Pahilajani to Executive Vice President (EVP) responsible for all general contractor activities. In his new role, Pahilajani joins the company’s Board of Directors.

In his role as EVP, Builders — a new position established as part of a long-term succession plan — Pahilajani is responsible for all general contracting activities and reports to Matt Rossie, Webcor’s President and Chief Operating Officer.

“Jit brings a unique perspective to his new position,” Rossie said. “His tenure in self-perform working closely on the field side and subsequently in preconstruction has given him the tools he needs to succeed in his new position."

Pahilajani began his Webcor career as a Project Engineer working with Webcor Concrete. He rose to Project Manager and Senior Project Manager before becoming Webcor Concrete’s Operations Manager. In 2012, Webcor tapped him to take over preconstruction and estimating for structural concrete work. In 2015, he was promoted to Vice President at Webcor Builders. When Pahilajani assumed leadership of Webcor’s San Jose office in 2019, he was promoted to Senior Vice President.

As EVP, Builders, Pahilajani will work closely with Chris Plue, his EVP counterpart responsible for Webcor Craft. The planned 2023 retirement of Webcor CEO Jes Pedersen set the wheels in motion for the restructuring that included the creation of the EVP, Builders position.
