“We are thrilled to announce our latest acquisition, a strategic move that reinforces our commitment to innovation and growth in Pennsylvania. This partnership expands our regional capabilities with Jeff joining our team, which enables us to better serve our Mid-Atlantic clients and drive value in exciting new ways,” said B&L President & CEO John F. Brusa, Jr., P.E.

Vones has more than 20 years of experience in the design, construction and project management for industrial, commercial, and educational building facilities.  This includes his extensive experience providing OSHA-compliant equipment access and working platform design as well as structural analysis and building façade evaluations/rehabilitations for a variety of industrial and institutional clients. A graduate of Penn State University and professionally licensed in PA and NC, Vones also has a decorated military background, serving as an infantry officer in the U.S. Army for over 14 years in both active and reserve status.
