2023 Ones to Watch Rising Stars: Sean McLoughlin, McAlpine Contracting

Number of years at firm: 1

One thing on my bucket list: To visit all of the Greek Islands.

When I am not working, I am: Spending every minute with my 9-month old daughter.

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? My most recent accomplishment is completing three veterinary medicine clinic interior fit-outs in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan, totaling $8 million in contract value. All are located within highly visible, prominent properties in upscale neighborhoods. It was very satisfying for me as a young professional to manage these technically complex, high-end undertakings from preconstruction to completion. The client’s satisfaction with McAlpine’s work has led to a new medical project in Manhattan for JLL, which I will manage on a phased schedule to ensure an uninterrupted operation of the existing clinic, while construction work takes place.

What makes this nominee a RISING STAR? 

“Sean is an impressive young construction professional and has been entrusted with increasing responsibilities since joining McAlpine Contracting one year ago. Most recently, he has managed three challenging veterinary medicine-related projects, which he has successfully completed, earning praise from our firm’s clients and partners. He is a very valuable member of our project management team.” - John Nolan, Executive Vice President at McAlpine Contracting
