Zachry Construction Corporation appoints Travis Mross as president to drive infrastructure growth

US-based heavy civil and infrastructure contractor Zachry Construction Corporation has appointed Travis Mross as president, as the San Antonio-headquartered firm advances its long-term growth strategy across transportation, water, underground utility, and civil sitework markets. The appointment carries significance for the wider construction sector at a time of strong demand across critical infrastructure programmes.

PR Newswire reported that Mross began his career with Zachry Construction as an intern in 2000 and has served as executive vice president for the past six years, helping to shape the company's strategic direction, strengthen operations, and drive performance across the business.

David Zachry, CEO of Zachry Construction Corporation, said: "Travis has been instrumental in setting our course and building the strong trajectory we are on today. He understands our business deeply and has helped elevate the discipline, accountability, and execution that positions us for continued success. I'm confident Travis is the right leader to guide Zachry Construction into its next chapter."

As president, Mross will oversee operational excellence, client service, and predictable delivery across all divisions. His priorities include strategic growth, business consistency, workforce development, and cultural strengthening alongside an emphasis on innovation.

Mross said: "As demand for critical infrastructure continues to grow, our job is to bring consistency, discipline, and a high standard of execution to every project. That focus will continue to guide how we serve clients and grow the business."

The announcement follows Zachry's acquisition of Crescent Constructors, which expanded the company's capabilities in water and wastewater plant infrastructure. A third-generation, privately held family business, Zachry Construction has delivered more than 6,000 large-scale projects over more than a century of operation.
