Jerry Graeber
Senior Project Manager
Jerry Graeber has spent his entire construction career at Leonard Contracting, and his tenure is a prefect example of how the company invests in the training of its employees and rewards those who perform their duties exceptionally well.
After serving in the U.S. Army, Jerry began working for Leonard Contracting in 1997, first as a carpenter’s helper, and later as a carpenter’s apprentice. When he reached the position of a full-time journeyman carpenter, Jerry decided to pursue an associate’s degree in Construction Management from St. Phillips’s College simultaneously, which guaranteed a long but fulfilling schedule. He completed that degree in 2003.
Jerry worked as a Project Manager Assistant and Estimator from 2003 until 2005, at which point he was promoted to Project Manager. Today, his extensive experience in new construction and interior finish-out projects, as well as the remodeling of occupied facilities, qualifies him as an excellent leader among his colleagues. Corporate offices, retail, senior living, automotive dealerships, and financial institutions are among the many types of projects that make up his work portfolio.
Outside his busy work schedule, Jerry is a member of the adjunct faculty at St. Phillip’s College, where he teaches Construction Technology courses. He also is a board member of both the Associated Builders & Contractors Education Committee and CAT Apprenticeship Program, and serves as a board member of the City of San Antonio TIRZ (Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone) for Brooks City Base #16.
