Specialty Contractor Promotes Industry Veteran Danial to VP

Specialty contractor Universal Builders Supply, Inc., which has performed work on projects including Grand Central Terminal and Battery Park City, has promoted industry veteran Nizar Danial to VP and engineering manager. “It’s a pivotal time for our 87-year-old company,” said Danial. “We’re looking to branch out into new and exciting territory and I’m really proud to be entrusted with this executive position and the responsibility of supporting the efforts to realize that vision.”

Danial has worked in the engineering and construction industry for over 20 years, beginning his career with Thornton Tomasetti before joining New Rochelle NY-based Universal Builders Supply in 2011 as an in-house engineering manager. President Chris Evans said that he and CEO Kevin O’Callaghan were “deepening the bench with Nizar’s executive promotion, not only because he’s an exceptional 20-year industry veteran, but because it’s an important management shift to accommodate our company’s development.”
