Jan. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Parrish Construction Group has hit the ground running in 2012. Along with several projects and a new branding effort, the Georgia construction firm specializing in education, industrial and commercial construction has recently promoted Rodney Smith to Senior Vice President and Partner.

Smith joined Parrish in 2002 as an Assistant Project Manager and was promoted to Project Manager in 2003.

In addition to providing executive management support of the company’s business development efforts, Smith will serve as Project Executive on specific projects and will assist Cyr in the day to day executive management of the corporation.

“It is a great comfort for me to have a business partner such as Rodney” said Cyr. “He brings energy and passion to his work, he is dedicated to our corporate mission to be the premier provider of construction services in Georgia, and most importantly, he possesses the integrity required to be a leader of this company. His contributions over the last 10 years have been instrumental in Parrish’s journey from good to great and I look forward with great anticipation to what we will be able to accomplish corporately in the future.”    

Smith is a 2002 Graduate of Southern Polytechnic State University with a BS in Construction Management.
